jack for changing wheels....

Hi guys..

I know that there are probably loads of post re: how to jack, where to jack the D3, but for speed of reference:

1. is any one able to recommend the best jack to get. I had contemplated a farm jack/high lift jack, but these seem dangerous and difficult to use on the jacking point, for example changing a spare tyre.

2. I saw one post re: jacking using the suspension arm? is anyone able share a picture of exactly where this is....

thanks

Mike

High lift jacks can do some serious damage. I have one for my off road Defender but wouldn't dream of using it on the Disco.

Lots go for the Sprinter jack.
If going for a trolley jack you're better with a high lift, somewhere over 500cm. Gives you the choice of jacking under the suspension or the body.
