The problem with high-lift jacks is that they don't (typically) lift the axles, so you have to overcome the terrain AND the decompression of the shock on the wheel. Can add up to more lift than the jack can provide. There are adapters that allow you to lift from the wheel, then slide a stand under the axle, and you're good to go!

A beer in hand while driving does not make a stud, it causes impairment which leads to accidents.

Relax Ken, that is his decision. I was reffering to getting out of the wash with no spare and then driving home, not the beer.
