How high does a bottle jack need to be to raise a Syncro wheel off the ground? I've delayed fitting my sidebars until I sort out the jack situation, and it looks like a bottle jack is the solution - but how tall does it have to be? Will a Land Rover jack do the trick? It's just they have a wider top to them, which looks more stable than the small round tops you see on most of them.

Depends where you put it and how many blocks of wood you have to hand...small ones are handy as they can go directly under the suspension arm for a quick lift...farm jack is a handy tool as well.

As i said on the other thread, a VW crafter one is great. Even still manages to raise my lifted van

But then you need a crafter to steal one out of...machine mart do a good range of cheap bottles..

i get a new van next week, will have 3 then

Okey dokey, thanks for the help
