    2 bottle jacks and sleeper offcuts = unlimited lifting height.
    Safer to put a block on the ground than between the jack and chassis, i personally haven't owned a trolley jack for years.

    Interesting. I find as the jack goes past about 1/2 height it moves around on its wheels to accommodate for the car tilting, whereas the pad / block on the rail doesn't move.
    Horses for courses I suppose.

I found a Kinchrome jack that was similar to the K12167, but it was a superseded part number (cant remember it off the top of my head) and it had a 520mm lift height rather than the K12167 510mmKincrome Australia - TROLLEY JACK LOW PRO 2800KG - Kincrome Australia Pty Ltd Could have gotten away with a lower capacity but I found its harder work for myself when using jacks that are close to their working limits so I'd rather have plenty of spare capacity as they do the job so much easier
    Thanks for that. With a bit of searching found this one, the K12165 with a 520mm lift: Kincrome Australia - 2000KG SLP GARAGE JACK - Kincrome Australia Pty Ltd

    Agree 100 percent with you on this especially if your working on a concrete surface. I would like one for lifting under a diff to change wheels but otherwise id use bottles for everything else. Each to their own Trolley Jack
