Darn! I was hoping you knew haha. I have the same dilemma for the time being. (just using the stock jack for now in a pinch)
For your own safety, do not rely on the jeep's scissor jack. They are weak.
For $40 I went to the junkyard and found a GM bearing scissor jack.

Here you can see the comparison with a red 5000 lb aftermarket jack, that bent a bit trying to lift my KJ..
The GM jack is tall & is super strong, has a really wide base, along with the bearing end.

I ended up cutting off the rail tabs, for a flatter lift, works very well now.

For now I am not worried about using mine in a pinch. Worked well on multiple occasions. I will definitely be getting rock rails this summer along with a Hi-lift.

He's probably like a little kid at Christmas right now. Not sleeping planning the install as soon as it gets there!

And I thought the uhaul was for your camping gear for Butler! So maybe your going to fill it up with parts there?

Got my RockLizard bumper on finally. It wasn't made right, but we did some more fab to it and got it to work. Then we went to the beach!

Yes keeps them from moving/ banging around
Wonder where oh where he got an idea like that :shrug::icon_lol:

That's what I thought. I don't like them, they are such a hassle she you're strapping up. A guy has them on his kk, some little daystar rubber ones, and it's just a pain. I guess if you take em off before you wheel it wouldn't be bad. I don't even notice mine making noise though

Had to deliver my recently-graduated daughter's college furniture to her mother's house in St. Louis...cheaper to take same trailer on to Muddland and drop off there than rent smaller trailer or try to rig mounting it onto my roof rack...its somewhat larger than typical racks...[emoji38]
