Factory jack, enough height to remove front wheel?

[EveryDayBronco]

Can it do it?

I used two of my other jacks, both pretty tall, to install my new wheels and had to add blocks of wood so I'm really curious if the factory jack lifts high enough to change front tire?

Anyone try it?

Where did you place jack to lift front tires?

Read your manual. There is a whole section about where to place the jack and how to use the extension that comes in the jack kit. It's in one of the little supplemental booklets that comes with the Bronco.

Why would Ford include a jack then?

Yes if you place it under the control arm. I even used the damn thing in a creek to get a wheel off. Those shock bolts sticking out are nice to keep it from sliding off a jack.

That actually sounds terrifying to implement. I'm impressed.

I have a bottle jack and a 4x4 block of wood (much safer) and jack via the frame. I will post a pic when I jack up my wildtrak next.

At the arrow!

My 2 ton unijack didn't have enough height and it max's out at 18 5/8".

I'll try the scissor jack this weekend but wanted to know if anyone here actually used it. My bronco has 32" dia tires.

Guess I need to.look.for.arrows.. I use control arms with IFS, then place jack stands under frame.. but yes they do have a ton of "droop" at full drop.

I'm a gonna test out that jack. Better than figuring it out on the trail!

I’ve used it on my Sasquatch. Works fine to change tires.

I have a sas BB 3 inch icon lift and 3 inch broncbuster body lift and the jack works fine on top of a couple 2x12s I have kicking around

Thanks for confirming.
