Frequently Asked Questions
What type of jack is best for a 4WD?
A high-lift or heavy-duty 4WD jack is best, as it's designed for taller vehicles and uneven ground where standard jacks can’t be used safely.
Can I use a regular car jack on a 4WD?
No. Most standard car jacks aren’t strong or tall enough to lift a 4WD safely, especially with suspension lifts or larger tyres.
Do I need extra recovery gear if I have a 4WD jack?
Yes. A jack is essential, but it should be paired with recovery boards, straps, gloves and other 4WD accessories for full recovery preparedness.
Are 4WD jacks safe to use on soft ground?
Yes, but always use a solid base or recovery plate under the jack. This prevents sinking and keeps your vehicle stable during lifting.
