I now have 37s on my 2022 F250, but curious if anyone has used the stock Jack with this size tire to change a flat? Just want to make sure I am prepared. Thanks in advance for the constructive feedback!
I think this is a tag your it issue. Brake out that jack and experiment. My guess is it might work on perfectly flat ground, or not. You may need to have a couple 4x4 blocks of wood to place under the jack. Then find a permanent place to store them on board. Always nice to know in advance as you stated.
Of course it will work, but as stated above take some blocking with you.
Get a 4x4 and cut it into 12" long pieces, then screw two or three pieces together to make a stable platform to set the jack on.
Thanks for the comments guys, I definitely plan on trying it out!
I was more curious if most people with 37s use the stock jack or have upgraded? If you have upgraded, what did you upgrade with? If you are using the stock one is there some sort of easily storable pad you use? I like the 4X4 suggestion I would just need to be a bit creative trying to store it, but not opposed to the idea.
not to be a smart asssss ..but let roadside assistance find out
i am old and broken so unless i am in the woods deep in a rut...its a simple call to coachnet or ford roadside.
i bet a standard jack like mentioned will be at its limit on perfect ground. get a good bottle jack with long reach .

At $75 for 2 inches and $150 for 4 inches of height, I would get the 4x4s cut to about 12 inches in length. Sand them and paint or linseed oil them and hope you never need them but they will also work as a wheel chock for trailers
Thanks for the replies! I think I have what I need now but hopefully this thread will help someone else in the same boat as myself.
The reason I haven’t tried the jack yet is I pulled my back the other day so just waiting on that to get better but will do in the near future! Small first world problems 😂

It's easier to ask then go through the hassle, I would ask first too. That's what forums are for, no need to explain yourself. Hope your back feels better.
There is a difference between changing a tire and changing a totally flat tire that is resting on it's rim off road. If you are sitting on the rim you may only be able to get the jack under there without a block. Then you start jacking with the stock jack and it will not get up high enough for your 37" tires. Then you have to hold the height you have gained with a block or better, jack stand and then put your jack on a block and finish the job. That's what I'm thinking. No?
