Anyone have a recommendation for a bottle jack that they keep in their R1T?

Yes! The 12 Ton Air/Hydraulic at Harbor Freight. Member’s get it like $30-40 cheaper than the online price.

They have plenty at the Kent location. Will bring to the meetup on Saturday.

Not sure if this is any good, but it's on my R1T wishlist

Curious why 12 ton, seems like a 4 ton is more than enough, I’m probably going with a 6 ton when I get my R1S.

Should do the job, but I wanted an air option since I have an onboard compressor.

Thanks! Haven’t used an air jack, does It work with the on board air compressor? What are you using for a connection point? The jack pucks floating around or something else?

I’m using magnetic pucks, so no issues there. The air/hydraulic Jack was mentioned as a buy by that “Out of Spec” YT guy. I haven’t personally connected it to the truck yet. In either case, this 12 ton HF jack works with air or hydraulic. I have a compressor in the garage as well.

Also curious how to mate up the bottle jack with the jack points. Can you use the spare tire kit's adapter or do you have to buy one of those fancy billet aluminum pucks?

Well, if you spent nearly $90k on the truck, by not go the extra mile and get a nice puck?! ?

Alternatively, if you have the spare tire kit and a power drill, one of these would help speed things up: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09YNDFK2J

This looks like it has an adapter that will fit over the cap on the Jack. I’m concerned that the cap on these bottle jacks is too small to use with the puck.

You just center the bottle jack on the puck and lift. Nothing fancy needed.

Hi does the bottle jack need to lift 23", or just achieve 23" with the jack pucks in place?
