Jacks

[Dapperdt]

Men (and possibly a woman or two),

Looking online, I ordered a cheap-o strut jack and it didn't go so well... Thoughts on these???

ACA make a jack adapter that inserts at the attachment point of the main lift strut. You are not lifting the aircraft by the gear leg which allows you to service the gear leg bolts also.

Do you have a recommendation of a jack to use with the ACA adapter? An average auto bottle jack is not nearly tall enough. Thanks!

I utilize 4" x 4" stacked together to support a bottle jack. The 4 x 4's are held together with long screws so they can moved as a unit.

I'm interested in what the adapter looks like. Any pictures?
