This reminds me to get that attachment for my bottle jack that cradles axle rather than the just using that 1" diameter point of contact.

Thanks for the reply.
I always push the spare under the truck before jacking it up plus i have a set of jack stands that i adjust up as i jack the truck.
I want something so i don't have to get under the vehicle any more. Even if the air jacks would work, I would still use the jack stands as a back up.
Our last trip out, i blew two on the same side at once. Made life difficult. I was just exiting the off ramp to the Mohave salt flats when they blew. It was over 110 and the concrete was frying hot.
My wife kept wiping my face down with a wet cold towel as i worked.
Had to drag throw rugs out of the RV to lay on.
I see the advertisements for those air lifts but not being used on anything a heavy as my RV. I thought that maybe someone on here had some experience with them.
