    The Jack would be better than a windup but a good trolley jack would be better again and a bit more stable.

    That jack says 127mm lift thats feck all so you may need timbers under/over it it mightnt be enough to take up the suspension travel. Just measure your min height and then measure the height to get the weels off the ground and you'll know what to look for.

    A trolley jack can be got for €20-€30 and would be better. Axle stands are a must

    I got a small 2.5ton in an Autoparts store, any will have them.
    It's nice and neat to replace the stock onboard weapon but I still want a much larger one with better lift clearance because chalking jacks becomes a pain in the hole when you have to lift her on all fours. It's dead handy get a big one with a long handle then you can lift from the centre of the axles.
