Good idea, bad planning.
A couple years ago I had a flat tire on my Dodge pickup. I wasn't home and had to use the scissor jack that comes with the truck. It took a long time to get the flat tire off the ground and changed. After that I figured that a small hydraulic bottle jack would be much better at lifting the future flat tire off the ground with a lot less effort. I didn't have the chance to try it out on a flat but whenit came time to rotate the tires I gave it a try. It did the fob but was very slow pumping up.
After that excercize I realized that the bottle jack just fit under the front "A" arm with the tire at full inflation. If the tire was flat the jack would be useless and I'd be stuck having to use the scissor jack again. I looked at Amazon for small floor jacks and they had one that would fit the bill. I asked my son about a small jack and he pointed at the one he had and we had used at the drag strip. He got it at Harbor Freight. I went to the Harbor Freight store in Zachary, La and bought two of them, one for each truck. I'm ready for a flat now.
