What is the lifting range for this jack? Min clearance off ground to get jack under vehicle and then how far extend up from there?

The jack fully closed, so the minimum to get it under the vehicle is 7.25". It will extend another 5" from there, but if you have space between car and jack you can lift an additional 2.25" by unthreading the top of the piston. Hope this helps.

Measure the distance from the ground to the spot on your jeep where you would attach the jack if you needed to lift it to change a tire or what ever. Your jack will have to travel upwards from that point the distance of your suspension travel (call your dealer if you don't know). When your jack has lifted your tire off the ground, my rule of thumb is to have another two feet of left due to uneven terrain not to mention the stability of the jack. So to sum it all up you would add say 30 inches, ground to bumper, plus 10 inches of suspension travel, plus 24 inches for safety. This would require you to buy a jack as close to 64 inches as possible .

5.5 inches is the minimum height. The above answer is wrong and cost me getting the wrong jack.

I think it would as long as it's ground clearance isn't too high. This jack has a short lift, I'd guess it's about 1 foot at most when completely extended. I have a compact car and it provides just enough lift to remove a tire, but it's useless with my truck. If you get this I'd carry a wood board to set it on to make it more useful, especially if you're going to use it in a muddy or sandy area.

This will work with up to a 37" tire. Lift height isn't that relevant since the jack and jack base are designed to go under the axle. Web link to AEV web site. http://www.aev-conversions.com/shop/products/tools-accessories/jk-jack-base

Hello there,It will be okay on the RAM just make sure you find a lower spot near where you want to lift before placing the jack. Also, and just in case, always carry a peace of wood (6x4) to increase reach in case the ground is not level. But I can say I am very pleased with this tool, even though I only used about 4 times.CheersLuiz

No, this jack is designed for passenger cars. You would need to purchase the SUV Jack that is designed with the lifting point mounted on, approximate, a 6 to 8 inch stem. Simply search Amazon.com for an SUV Jack, and one should immediately come up

I would not advice you to use this jack. It literally fell apart the second time my husband used it, thankfully he wasn't under the car at the time.

I don't recommend it. The only way I was able to lift the front end of my '04 Accord up high enough to get jack stands under it was by awkwardly lifting each side at the front subframe. This jack just doesn't go high enough to be of much use. It's also really bad quality. I would get a decent floor jack to lift the car, and then of course put jack stands under the reinforced lift points.

it does seem to lift as advertised... altho part of the lift has to be in the foot (6") ...... I have a 2500 new dodge and it has a high hitch works with no problem.. great jack for the money

A little over 9". Make sure you center your jack on it or it might tip, mostly in hot weather.

Get the higher rated one; this one works well on a tractor we own, but you would need a larger rating for your pickup. Sorry since it's currently on the tractor, we can't measure it, but my husband believes it's from 6-8'. from Grant C.

Not sure man, I haven't puller it up that high. But I will tell you that I used it to pull the cab off my 29 model A frame. Had the bottom of the frame about 4-1/2 feet off the ground. It works well.

Yes, you need to use a floor jack to lift the vehicle off the ground. These jack stands are then placed under the frame, subframe or jacking points on the vehicle to support it. Most vehicles come with a simple screw-type compact floor jack for changing tires, but they are not sturdy or quick to raise and lower a vehicle. A floor jack is preferable and far safer. Remember, ALWAYS SUPPORT A VEHICLE WITH JACK STANDS BEFORE CRAWLING UNDER IT! NEVER GO UNDER A VEHICLE SUPPORTED ONLY BY A FLOOR JACK!

28" is the lifting height of the jack. The jack will easily lift the front of a ZTR with a 72" deck.

It is hard to tell, the jack when retracted still leaves the tail to far down. On my unit we had to shim 2inches to get clearance. This is a food vending trailer hooked to a Tundra so there is not a lot of drop when the trailer is attached. However we have to still be careful of large dips in the road, Great jack, works smooth and lifts a nose heavy unit so I live with the problem.

Probably not, and still have enough height to lift the vehicle off the ground. I have a Dodge Charger, and the first few inches of lift are used up in suspension travel before the tire even starts to leave the ground. Then when I have the tire a couple of inches off the ground, most of the height of the jack is used up. You may have to use a 2x4 under the jack for added lift.
