Trestle jack review

So it "cams" up? No real jacking needed?

 

Yes but as we found out with the pair I bought, nothing stops the truck from rolling beyond the point that it falls.

 

So, useful for steer axle, or trailer, and requires 2 or 4, doesnt look any lighter or smaller than jack stands or a bottle jack (larger than a single in fact) and height has a relatively low limit as well due to how the cam seems to work.

Good application of physics, a+
Poor real world wide use case d-

 

It is great for a shop setting where you can have stops set up to stop the truck. Even using wheel chocks to stop the truck didn’t prevent the chock from moving out of place.

 

If you're looking for something to keep in the truck with you or for more portability try Harbor Freight's bottle jacks. I have a couple and they work well at an affordable price. Grab some HD jack stands too.

 

Because your drive is dirt, you will need to have a proper base under your jack/stands, consider pouring a concrete pad or large blocks of wood.

See picture.
