I was able to secure a spare tire kit from a Rivian Service Center but am concerned about the Jack that comes with the kit. I have read that a pneumatic air Jack would work well given that the Rivian has a onboard compressor. Does anyone have suggestions on a Jack that would fit in the gear tunnel?

I remember seeing someone post about a jack they put into their gear tunnel. Been searching to find the thread/post but I can't find it. I too am interested to find one.

I had a thread about a CAT offroad jack that I created. You could also look at ProEagle, Ive seen those in the gear tunnel.

Edit: Here is the thread I was talking about, apparently deleted accidentally according to the admin

Multiple uses of the words “jack” and “jacking” in one thread probably caused the site software to melt down :giggle:

Thank you! Yours was the one I was specifically remembering and looking for. Are you happy you went this route vs a bottle jack?

So far so good. I have used it a few times and had no issues. Only hesitation I have is the weight of the jack, I may eventually tap into a lighter option I can use with some rock sliders.

Yeah the weight is probably my only hesitation as well. Well that and price, but it is cheaper than some.
