Do you put the little notch under the shock mount when you try to jack the rear? It doesn't go exceedingly high, but I can get at least an inch in the air with it.

In my truck I have the stock jack, a 6 ton bottle jack, and a 30 ton bottle jack. The 6 ton and the stock scissor will pick up any corner of the truck. I just dont trust the stock jack. The 30 ton jack is too high to put anywhere under the truck, so if I need extra lift I start with the 6 ton and slide the 30 ton beside it.
