Was once a way.

Your best of looking at a Executive if you can find a new one and get underneath to see if anything else has been put in the wheel well, if not then you should be able to order a mounting kit.

g'day Bruce,

I reckon you are on it re wrong sticker, the sticker on the back of the jack agree's with your info - min=181mm max=442, but I am fairly confident in the Stanley tape measure. Did not look like 181 to my eye so I got out the tape.

Well I bought a (real) BST2000 and it manages to jack my unloaded van with Seikel lift and 235/65R17 tyres off the ground and have 25mm clearance under the inflated tyre. That is without blocks, just the jack sitting on the garage floor. Hopefully that means it will work with a fully loaded van and a flat tyre. Was $114 from Blackwoods.

I have to admit, I've been a little slack getting around to getting a lift, but as my van is now 2 weeks away from getting into port i should go and get one.

This lift is a good price, ill be down in eagle farm on monday, i might as well grab one from blackwoods before i forget.

So Bruce you're saying that 200mm stroke is enough to get you off the ground? Is the total extended length 418mm?

As the photo shows the tyre is off the ground about 25 mm. That is with only a light load on board. Now the measurements of this jack still don't line up with the website of the BST2000. TELESCOPIC HYDRAULIC BOTTLE JACKS

Overall height of jack with ext screw.... 420mm
Without ext screw. .....385mm
Min height. .....175mm
Min height with ext screw. .....210mm

Ext screw 35mm, website says 60mm and max height 442mm, min 181mm. Solid looking jack but it still doesn't look like the perfect solution but I think it should be ok. Will let you know next time I'm fully loaded on a gravel road with a totally flat tyre......... I'm not looking forward to the prospect of dragging the spare out from under the van in the dust and 40+ degree heat or mud.....

Try dragging an oversized spare out from under a van with a trailer hooked up as well in 35c plus heat , not a pleasant job all the more difficult by the fact we had hub rings fitted and they were pretty seized up . They had to be removed to fit the standard rim back on which had oversize tyre fitted , the spare rack was at full extension so when you wound it down you had to jack up the spare to release the bracket before removing the flat tyre .

Cheers for that, so going by your photo I am going to definitely need a jack that goes above 420mm because of my tyres - 245/65/17 and lift. The rear more so than the front too.
