what kind of jack do you use for your X ( like when changing wheels)?

I use a 3.5 ton floor jack w/a rubber pad on the lifting arm. Works great.

2.5 Ton floor jack, but I remove the plate and use the lift plate off my smaller 1 ton jack because it fits better on the X jack points.

Good jacks are all available everywhere and everyone has their own fave...any qual. brand will do. I'd pass on a "low profile" jack, however: those are good for Vettes and very low cars, but you will be cranking it to get the X up high enough to pull the tires. Any std, qual jack is fine,imo.

I am envious of Hayku's 2 post lift, however, ;>)

Here's an X5World link for jacking points, pucks, etc.

are hydraulic bottle type jacks any good?

bottle type jacks?

standard floor jacks IMO are the best and safest.
