Test your jack and spare tire accessories before you need them

[cybercricket]

All you need is some blocks of wood (others have done it in a pinch with rocks).

Quote:

Steps:​

Drive up tire on to a 4 inch rock​

Put truck in extraction mode​

Once it is 15 inches, slide the stud under the jack point of that tire..​

Loosen lug nuts​

go into service mode (see video)​

Select individual suspension tire and deflate (see video)​

Tire will rise and will lift off the rock, so remove it.​

Replace tire​

tighten lug nuts..​

Go to service mode, inflate that one tire..​

exit service mode​

remove stud​

What if you only have 3.5 and 4.5 inch rocks though ?

I have a compact light weight 3.5T aluminum floor jack like what the pros use. The sawd may have different height needs than air suspension but I will be trying mine out on day 1 to get my new wheels installed.

Do pros use floor jacks in the mountains while parked at an angle as well ?

I've got the Tesla spare tire and jack kit and have had to use it. It BARELY gets the tire off the ground on level pavement. How does jack mode work? Is it supposed to prevent the tire from drooping or just turn off auto leveling? The manual says to put the suspension in Medium height but even then it droops. Would it work to put the truck in Entry height and then jack mode?

All jack mode does is prohibit the truck from changing height so it stays in whatever height you’re in I believe.
