One commenter said it jacks up his Suburban? I appreciate this is a low profile jack but didn't think I could also use it on my SUV to remove wheels.

Yes this jack is a very good choice to change tires on a SUV. Fairly light, but don't get me wrong it is not a car jack. It is though very handy and much safer than a car jack..

Sure you can! My hubby uses it on my suburban and his dodge 2500 pickup...... Obviously, it will best to use jack stands if you will have it up for a while. But this jack will lift your SUV, providing you don't have some sort of ridiculous lift kit on the thing.

Possibly, the mechanism is is fairly tight but not overly hard to turn. I haven't used it enough to "break-it-in" yet so the jack will probably get easer to operate. Right now, I would say that a good 1/2" drill motor would lift and lower the jack, but have no idea if it'll pick-up a bike.

You will first run into the problem of jacking the lift up because of clearance issue being underneath the vehicle, but if you manage to resolve that problem I would secure the transmission with two ratchet straps in a cross pattern. So yes you can use it for lifting or lowering a transmission.

I just watch the video one replier sent you. In the video it looks like it uses the wrong end of the handle tube in the jack or it is not the same as mine. The part with the foam on the handle is the one to in insert into the jack. The foam is to prevent damage to the vehicle if it was to come into contact. Not sure what he is doing. LOL I have know way of sending you a pic on here or I would. sorry.

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

I have 35" tires and a 3" lift, I have this item and I have used it once. On a level ground, the jack is meant to be used under the axle. It worked perfectly fine for me, the tires came completely off the ground with room to go higher. I hope this helps.

That's correct. They do NOT jack up the car. They are used to support the car after you have jacked it up. For safety reasons, you don't want to rely on the jack to keep the car from crashing down on you while you are under it!! Thus, the use of the "jack stands".

I'm not an engineer, so I can't directly answer that question. My travel trailer is between 3000 and 3500 # (depending on the load) and the jack lifts and supports the wheel. If I need to lift it several inches it can take a while to crank it by hand, but it does a fine job getting the trailer level. I have recently tried using an impact drill to raise the jack (because this type of drill does not twist your wrist) but there were some problems with that approach. The jack-screw started to show signs of metel shavings which might mean I am near the limit of the jack's weight load. That said - I would buy another one of these if this one breaks. If you get one you might also want to buy a large pizza-delivery bag to store it in. Works perfect.

These jacks are primarily for stabilizing trailers. They do not " jack up" (or down), but rather, their movement is accomplished by turning the screw. I hope I've given you a proper description from which to determine their suitability for your specific need.

Sure you can use it for that if it is secured properly. Not sure why you would want to do that though. Remember the higher you go, the less weight the jack will hold.

This jack is perfect for that. You may have to support the rear with with a block to offset the weight but these jaclks are not as big and bulky as the other type and don't get in the way.

Saul: It lifts a suburban easy. But use jackprops after lifting trucks heavier than 3.5 tons. Release the jack to reduce stress on it, and be safe.

nah, it's as bulky as the rest of the car vacuum cleaners. it's fine. especially since you have an SUV for christ's sake! you're good. get one.

It's supposed to work whether you have a cargo rack or not. It works well with one, but I don't know how it would work without a cargo rack honestly. I have a Suburban.

Ssouldn't be a problem.I put htis jack on a 26 foot enclosed car trailer that i haul a race car,golf cart,tool box full of tools,generator,gas cans and other items and it lifts the trailer loaded like this with no problem.The only complaint i have with the jack is it didn't come with a manual jack handle and all the other places i saw the jack it said it came with a handle.Coy C

I can answer that question for myself: No. But I see no reason why it couldn't be used for that purpose. The jack is easily strong enough to handle that amount of weight. For the sake of safety, it would be in your best interests to chock the rear wheels and keep them on the ground

Are you able to safely place the jack squarely under a main frame or axle? Since the cord that comes with this unit is 10' in length, it should be easy to place the jack under any wheel lift point. Otherwise, you may need a RoadPro RP-203EC 12V 12' Extension Cord with Cigarette Lighter Plug or similar extension cord to allow more room to move around.Simple answer = it should work for almost any vehicle one could consider, up to it's lift max capacity.
