Picked up a spare tire. Now what??

[Eeyore]

The only thing I would add would be a pair of gloves and a small tarp or something else to kneel on.

I bought the 10 ton Torin and the ARB jack base. Not quite enough lift to get the truck high enough to put a fully inflated tire on. Fortuantely, I was at a place I could put a 4x8 under the jack. I will be adding a 2x8 piece to my spare tire area.

I have a Gen 2 with 22" wheels.

I got the 4x jack pucks kit. I think you can stack them (seems a bit precarious but doable in a pinch) and will also add a plank for a base plate.

I bought the ones from the person on this site that sells them. No way in hell would I stack them.

Newer version can be stacked. There is also a single extra tall puck that will work with the Torin. Keep that with the jack for emergencies and trail. Keep your existing pucks for service.

I bought my kit in mid December. No way are those designed to be stacked. There is no mention on the jackpucks.com site that says you can stack.

I would like to order the large puck but they are sold out.

@Mark_AZR1T can answer your questions.

The nonslip caps plus pressure from weight of vehicle, it will stack.

Straight from their site:

The rear suspension on the Rivian has a longer stroke than the front, which means a standard puck doesn’t always provide enough lift to get the rear wheels off the ground. For our own Rivians, we use a 2" thick RV lift pad, though many customers simply use a block of wood for extra height.

They really should have cast a flat spot with a hole on the control arms as well. Who's got drill bits lol.

That might make it weaker? And on further thought, if the tire is flat, there might not be enough clearance between ground and lower arm to fit the bottle jack. So adding a XL puck or extra padding under the jack are probably best.

LOL...you are the idiot who responded to my post and insisted that they can be stacked.

I only read the thread title...

So my recommendation is to eat less and exercise more.
