Hi, This has probably been asked before but can someone recommend me a jack that will actually go under my T350?
It has Standard suspension but I can't seem to find a trolley jack that will go under it.

Cheers

I use a normal jack, but have a couple of short scaffold planks that I drive on to first which gives me the room to get a jack under

I made a set of wooden blocks that I can drive on-to, gives me the extra few inches clearance to get a standard Halfords jack under.

Thanks everyone for the advice.

jonspal - do you find the Halfords Jack has enough reach to get to most places under the car?
Also where do you use as a jacking point?

The blue point jack is same one that's in Costco at the moment I think is about. £82.00
But you need a membership.

The jack can only really get to the edges of the chassis under the car. It can probably get a bit further in nearer the back as it's higher but I've only ever jacked on the corner chassis bolts.

That's all you need to get the wheels off jack it up and axel stand it.

Looks similar but the Costco item is made by SIP
