Bogie bracket and bottle jack

[thomas g. warner]

I have a bracket like you described and although I can get it connected to
the slot under the bogie bracket when a tire is flat, there is not enough
room to get my bottle jack under it. There is not enough room to get a
floor jack under the bogie and still get a bottle jack under. I have not
came up with an answer yet.

To get a little more room under the bogey, have you tried raising the side
with hte flat all the way up and then driving the good wheel up onto a
couple 2X4's?

Worked for us once.
