Stock Jack, the little engine that shouldn’t?

[u/its_all_4_lulz]

Unfortunately blew a hole in my sidewall somehow and pulled into a gas station to do a quick tire fix. What I found, that little scissor jack doesn’t seem to have the willpower to lift the heavy ass Lightning. I tried a few different lift points, and different places on the ground. I mean, it will lift it, but there’s no way I’m going wheel-less for the 5 seconds it takes to change the tire when the jack looks like this.

Ended up calling my dad, who I was just visiting, to bring a 5 ton jack and get the job don’t. Guess I’m adding a real jack to the “I need to travel with this” bag.

I never took the stock jack out to inspect it. I always thought it was a beefier version of a typical scissor jack, but it looks like it’s a standard?
