Please help. I just got my hummer. As you can see in the picture I got it from NFL player Dante Hall of the KS City CHEIFS. It currently has 24" wheels on it and I purchased stock takeoff's from my dealer for $795 yesterday (still has tits on tires).
I want to change the 24's to the 17's tomorrow, but my floor jack only lifts 6-21 inches. This does not seem like high enough to put on the stock tires (make the car about 4" higher than the 24" wheels do.)
PLEASE LET ME KNOW YOUR SUGGESTIONS!!!!

Do you have a pick of the jack under the back seat?? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
I put amps and in inverter under the back seat so it won't work in my truck anymore (so I can't do a picture you....) right now my Hi-lift jack is up on the Gobi rack...

I would go with a 60" Hi-Lift Jack, to jack up your truck. If you have jack stands, you could also use them for extra security.

I have 8 cars. 3 of them classic (1954, 1961 and 1980) I can do work on cars myself. I have yet to get my HUMMER back from the undercoater to even try a jack on the vehicle (I also have only had the truck at my home for 24hrs before it went to the shop). It was a simple question as to if anyone uses a similar jack. I appreciate your genuine concern, but if I had the vehicle I wouldn't ask the question. I want to get the vehicle back, change the wheels and get it to the dealer for warranty work all in about 1.5 hrs time. This was an attempt to be prepared.
How much play the STOCK suspension has Directly relates to if this car can be jacked up using my jack. Something I would not know if I didn't have the car HERE. (VOL)
Thanks to those of you who treat new comers with respect and curtesy one would expect from a fellow human being. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ACT BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE: Take time to learn from other forums who actually care.
I only hope that driving a HUMMER doesn't make me treat others as some of you do.

That truck appears to be lowered...if this is the case the stockers may not fit.

You sure you don't want to rethink this question? I suggest you take it to a professional if this has you stumped.

It would seem to me you are having issues with your caps lock key. I would offer you advise on how to remedy it but seeing that you have yet to notice the problem and correct it yourself I don't think you possess the skills to do it on your own.
I would not be able to sleep at night if you were to bruise your index finger from attempting to fix the caps lock issue.

You can use the stock jack...
If you are going to buy a jack, get this one:
http://www.trailduty.com/products/hilift/index.html
Get the 60" version. It'll work anywhere and stores easily under the back seat.
I have one on my roof. Many of the folks here that off-road have hi-lift jacks.
Be damn careful jacking up your truck. They are very heavy.
I had an incident with a jack last fall that sent me to the emergency room to have my lip sewn back togther...
Have fun, welcome to the board...

I've been sitting here for hours with no luck. Where in the hell were you at 5 when this all started? Well, I got it started but now it won't shift at all. I push the button in and pull back on the handle but...nothing. I'm starting to get a little dizzy, should I open up the garage?
