Standard Jack and 2-inch lift

[prsncat]

I watched the @fordvideoguy Maverick Monday video about changing the tire this afternoon.

I have a Rough Country 2-inch lift on my EB AWD Maverick and realized using the factory jack to replace a flat tire might be unsafe.

Has anyone tried using the standard scissor jack on a Maverick with a 2-inch lift?

As a follow-up, do you have any recommendations for what I should carry?

I just realized that it doesn't matter. The tire height will raise the jack point. The lift won't. Duh!

The lift will raise the jacking point also. I use a aluminum pump up jack I carry in the bed of my truck.

Depending on where you like to jack it, the height will be raised. Just find a scrap piece of 2x8 lumber(maybe 2x6) about 8" long. That should take care of any difference. It will also be handy for all kinds of uses, from a wheel chock, to chopping block for coconuts.

Also if you make a load divider for the bed slots you will always have a piece of lumber to put under the jack.

Great idea. Yet, I have the Ford accessories bed divider. After @OB1e mentioned it, I realized I have a PowerBuilt 2-ton All-in-one bottle jack in my garage. All I need to order is the rubber pinch weld adapter mentioned above. Problem solved despite the fact it wasn't a problem in the first place. My jack point is only 1-1/8 inch higher than the one on my wife's 2024 XL Hybrid Maverick. Thus, the factory-supplied scissor jack should work just fine for my truck with the taller tires (the lift doesn't matter).

I gotta still reccomend a small chunk of wood. Its one of those things that makes it a real truck. It will come in handy one day and you will never notice it next to the jack behind the seat.
