Holy shit i was thinking of something to use for this exact problem. Ive used every i can think of and it gets quite dangerous. Thank you so much for this information !
Hi there friend. Thanks so much for this video. Didn't even know this device existed. More so, disappointed I didn't think up such a simple but genius idea till now. Funny, could have really used one a few days ago but improvised with blocks. Curious if they have these things in Australia? I'd get one for sure.
Just know, the shorter saddle alone and/or the 6” extension gives you full weight capacity for your jack. Once you add the 11” extension your weight capacity drops by roughly 50%.
For those concerned about the safety of our extension, we go into more detail about using the long extensions and how to jack with them in the following link. At some point we will do a field test showing it, but you can use your imagination for now. Or maybe @Diesel Legiance can do a follow up video?.... Here's our take on jacking with extensions.... th-cam.com/video/aP1dTidLrDc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=h3X2gN61Kt-ew0iq&t=1354
I worry about the jack tipping over on many occasions when jacking up a lifted truck high. I normally use wood blocks as extension when needed and I worry. The 12” metal extension piece is not meant to really jack up heavy diesel trucks but the 6” extension works fine. I rarely use the 12” though.
I have got too honest. I'm a farmer. I'll throw a 20' extension ladder in the loader bucket of a 6220 John Deere and lift it 20' off the ground, but that looks pretty sketchy.
They claim the 6” extension gives you max capacity of your jack. As you go higher the capacity of your jack would drop. For the limited times I need to jack my lifted truck up to get it on jack stands, this works for me.
I am not so sure it is a good idea to recommend this contraption for a floor jack. You didn't even show a simple test lift of your truck. What happens when the floor jack goes through its arc of motion and tends to roll the floor jack under the truck. Is that extension capable of the side load to roll the floor jack? This is something which certainly should be tested by the Automotive Lift Insitute before you claim it is safe. Check them out they are in Cortland NY.
I am no mechanic, I am simply trying out a product that I found to work for me. All I am suggesting is this may be better than stacking wood blocks. Again, this is not for everyone. It’s for lifted vehicles when you need to jack it up higher to fit a taller jack stand under.
Also, I got this info from the manufacturer. If you use the 6” extension you get full limit of your jack. As you go taller your jack limit drops. Recommended limits - full jack rating w/ 6” ext. -75% of jack rating w/ 11” ext. - 50% of jack rating w/both stacked at 16” ext.
lol I think you all missed the point. I never said it’s meant to jack everything up no matter the weight. It’s used for certain circumstances on lifted vehicles where a standard jack can’t reach. The listing states that the taller extension reduces what you can lift so you need to be mindful. The smaller extension has no reduction in the weight lifted. It’s not for everyone and it’s safer than using a wood block. But go ahead and feel the need to voice your opinions.
@@DieselLegiance I understand that and my fronts are the same but normally they would be square bent if used up side down. lol my be I’m missing something
Yeah, it’s not cheap, but keep in mind, there’s not much else out there comparable like this to choose from and shipping costs aren’t cheap these days.

I did not know about this! I’ll be showing my husband about this! But is the fine thread sold separate if you know?
Both threads are available. Just know, the tallest extension limits your weight capacity you can lift. The smaller ones does not.
Truck is looking good
Thanks, it’s always a work in progress 🙏
Great video. Thank you for the walkthrough

Do a review vlog on its performance👍🏽…Aloha 🤙🏽
Good idea, maybe I’ll make a reel or something. 🤙🏼

What’s a good/best floor jack
It doesn't give you any more leverage just a higher lift capability ALSO they are not "thin threads" they are fine threads !! Cool video
That’s what I needed, more height. And yes, fine thread, I said it wrong that’s why I added text into the video. 👍🏼
NO THER NOT THERE THIN CAN T U SEE
Lol, sure it’s not “course” thread?
Ever worry about the jack tipping over?

@DieselLegiance well, to be honest, I have done worse with 4x4's lol.
Me too lol 👊🏼
the hollow tube would scare me
Yeah, but cracking wood blocks scare me too. Metal seems safer and besides, what choices do we have.
i have a 6 inch for one of my jacks and it is solid steel bar. im old and do not remember where i got it@@DieselLegiance
It does have the exhaust pipe look 😂😂

BULLSHIT.....THERES A REASON WHY YOU DONT SHOW THIS JACK BEING USED..😂😂😂

Where do I buy

What’s with the way the u bolts are on the axle in the thumb nail. The rounded is at the top and there totally wrong and scary.
That how my 2023 F350 with added leafs came as there is a bracket on the bottom of the axle. Thats factory. But feel free to complain to Ford lol
@@DieselLegiance I understand that and my fronts are the same but normally they would be square bent if used up side down. lol my be I’m missing something
@@DieselLegiance I see what you mean my bad
its "fine" thread
Yeah I know, just said it wrong in the moment that’s why I added the text into the video but good catch 👍🏼
I NO ITS FINE TO USE THIN TREAD
But never lifted it
great video! crazy ripoff of $125 for the kit though...
Yeah, it’s not cheap, but keep in mind, there’s not much else out there comparable like this to choose from and shipping costs aren’t cheap these days.
Please, please stop the all rim, skinny tire fad. It's dumb and dangerous. It looks like S.H.I.T. as well...
Appreciate your opinion. However, it’s a custom lifted truck thing, not everyone will like it. But, curious, what’s the perfect look to you?
@@DieselLegiance 16" rims 35" tires on both my old diesel Fords. I can tow, I can air down offroad. Never had a flat tire once...
I respect that. 👍🏼
Sketchy AF just buy a lift
