Should be ok? or too dangerous?
 

Hello,

I need to adjust headlight vertical aim control sensor which is attached to front axel,
however I don't have ramps or other tools but stock jack.
I'll remove front passanger side wheel, and jack it up so I can go under the vehicle.
will stock jack hold high enough? or is it too dangerous to do it? :rolleyes:

I know it's warranty issue, but it happened during aftermarket spring swapping job.
So, installer will fix this problem but not able to do it untill next Tue.
I can't drive at night cuz my headlights move up and down like crazy.

I would be very careful crawling under any car with the factory jack. A decent hydraulic jack and 4 jack stands isn't that expensive and it could save your life.

+1

Go out and buy a cheap 4 ton craftsman hydraulic jack. I would never jack up the truck and go under it. Stock jack is only for changing wheels/tires in emergencies imo.

+2...why risk it with a tire changing jack.
Life's short enough: get a floor jack.

Alright, Thank you for replies!! :thumbup:

Don't forget to get jack stands. You'll definitely need them for added safety.

:iagree: Def don't get under a car with just a jack- of any kind. Jackstands are a MUST.

stupid spam ^

Id say save the money and let the ones who messed it up fix it. just try to limit your night driving for a week or so until its fixed

As you can see the answer was pretty much no. I haven't used a factory jack, ah, ever.
