Default Jacking up your lifted f150s?

I have a 4 inch lift and 35's on my truck and normal jacks won't work. I want to find a jack that will lift my truck. I've seen the high lift jacks but I've only seen them used on jeeps. I don't know where I would use it on the f150. Anyone have a jack or any ideas?

I use the high lift, but I have steel bumpers.

I have a hi lift and a bottle jack. Walmart has 12 ton bottle jacks for 40.00 in a case, hell of a deal. No you don't need a 12 ton for your truck but I got a bigger one in case I was pulling a trailer or needed to lift a tractor etc. Depending on how tall your truck is just keep a few boards to compensate for what you need to use the bottle jack. The factory scissor jack is garbage. Hell my ranger came came with a bottle jack from the factory. What was ford thinking giving us a scissor jack in a half ton.

If you get a hi lift, watch some videos on how it works. That can be dangerous. They make a nice mounting kit of you run a tool box.

I always just used a regular old floor jack with a cut 6x6 board set on top of it. Call me shade tree or back yard, but never has failed or caused a problem.
