Re: How to jack up a Jeep with 33s
I have 33s on my CJ and I don't trust the high lift. I only use it when I
have to. Go to the auto parts store and get a rolling floor jack and you
may need one called an SUV jack that will get the height that you need.
Jack it on the frame between the wheels and use jack stands once you have it
up so you don't get killed while you're working on it.

Re: How to jack up a Jeep with 33s
Jack stands are a requirement.
I saw this movie on TV once in which this bitch (I wouldn't normally say
that here, but she was) walked into a garage where some guy was working
under his car and twisted the handle on his floor jack, releasing the car.
Not pretty!

Re: How to jack up a Jeep with 33s
A high lift jack is good for raising a barn to beef up the footing or
something like that.
There is no safe way to use one on a Jeep.
I carry a small hydraulic floor jack that fits perfectly behind the
passenger seat and use the spring plates as jacking points.
