A jack serves a fairly simple function so evaluating it is trivial.
But since you'll be squirting foam into your tire then you don't need one.

Yes, I have it and I know the stock jacking positions, question was if changing to the bottle jack will modify those locations.

I do that all the time with my track toy, dependig on the jacks and work to be done is the lifting point.

I asked the jack questions since most forums I participate people complain about the OE jack, looks that in this Forum people is OK with the OE option.

Just was wondering, that all. thanks.
