I know you can move the jack from under the super cab rear seat and place it on spare tire to free up room under the seats but has anyone done this? I was wondering if the jack rattles around on the spare tire and makes unnecessary noise?

Thanks

 

I havent done it, I would just imagine that you find a place to put in and extend it until its tight and have no play in the jack.

 

That's a good idea, and you can also use zip tires to keep it from moving around. Just be sure to carry a pair of side cutters or pliers to rip those zip tires off in case you have a flat.

 

I would be concerned with it rusting from being in the elements.. A scissor jack is a PITA if the screw is rusty.

 

The rod required to access the spare is stored with the Jack plus they're sketchy enough without being exposed

 

That's a good point.. Only place I'd relocate it to would be my truck box,

 

I was at a salvage yard getting a part for a cavalier and noticed a similar body style ford. I opened it up and found du ha storage bin. I think its a du ha. It doesn't have the dividers. I paid 20 bucks for it. I could always leave the jack in the bin.

The f150 at the salvage yard also have a stand alone center console in it. I am thinking about buying that and swapping the jump seat for the console.

 

As others have already mentioned, I would be leery relocating the jack outside, where it would be subjected to the elements. They don't take up that much space inside.

 

The jack is a pos. Don't put it under the truck. Have you considered a "swing case"? Google it. It mounts in the bed of your truck.

 

scissor jacks are a pos anyway. throw that crap away and buy a bottle jack to keep in the truck. or if you got a toolbox, carry a floorjack with you.
