Has anyone used this with accessories bolted on the jack? I'm looking to put fuel on mine and wondering how this will hold up.

It barely holds the Jack. I would recommend the smaller Jack, with no accessories.

Should hold up fine, I have shook my jeep from my highlift while mounted in the stand..

Based on my experience wit this unit, if you add a 5 gallon fuel can that will weight about 40 pounds, plus the can I think you would have problems. Overall, this is a good product for the planned use, but I would be very hesitant to add 40 plus pounds to it, especially if you plan on going off road with it.

My concern would be with the extra weight on the door hing rather than the bracket itself I think the bracket would be fine.

So far I have had mine for 5 months and it has been great. Makes my 4.8 run like a 5.3 or maybe a little more. I just used it to tow my 26' camp trailer with no issues. Haven't had any trouble.

I removed the old broken jack which was held in place by three bolts. The plate was welded to the trailer from the factory. So it was very easy to install the new jack. If you don't have this plate to begin with you will have to have someone weld one in.

I've only recently got my pack of Jacks so my ball is still in tack. Hope it will last for some time yet? How long have you yours and how often have you changed it?

jack works fine, but always use jack stands if crawling under suv, sometimes jack stand needed to relocate jack forbetter sturdy lift point.

i havent but word to the wise. The first time i tried to use mine the main bolt holding the bracket to the hitch insert broke in two just as i was leaving the driveway. i contacted Reese to advise them that they were using inferior bolts and they failed to get back to me . I have since replaced all the bolts with steel ones. It does work well with my 16 ft Coleman fiberglass canoe

It depends on how high your truck is now. You might want to carry some blocks to put on the ground under the jack.

short answer, YES!!! only weakness in this jack is that if the vehicle, falls off the jack it will very likely bust the jack by twisting it scissors and bass. Happened to me and busted it beyond repair. I did buy another one, because it really is handy to have around. Am just more careful now.

stays on trailer ,just loosen the wing nuts when moving the jacks . remember to tighten them when traveling . works nice

I'm just a shade tree mechanic...if that. It definitely sounds like he hooked something up wrong. I did it myself and the only issue I had was with the screws that hold the fuel rails (1 snapped off at the head). Sorry I couldn't help.

Hi Susan. I suspect it would work as an aftermarket jack provided it is located under a frame member and is rated to support the weight.

I routinely extend the jack near max but set the trailer tongue onto a cinder block to take pressure off of the jack. I have not noticed it to be anything but solid.

Jack stands are not designed for a particular vehicle. They should work on everything as long as you use a part of the frame of the vehicle; somewhere where the weight of the vehicle won't damage it.

I've seen a jeep out where I am, with a chain taunt across the d rings that he has used to high jack it. The bumper itself is very heavy duty, but as someone else said there really is no stable place to position a jack. The chain across the d rings is your best option

Not a lot of room. You would probably be better off adjusting the center tire mount outward and mounting the jack under the tire. That would help avoid the theft of jack but you would need to remove tire to get to the jack.

Only answer I can tell you R. Alacar is I had my OTC Racing Jack for a while and have't encountered any problems. It could have been a bad lot in production process or the jacks were abused by lifting heavy loads more than recommended by the manufacture? I use it often on my 1967 big block corvette without a single problem.
