Forklift :laugh:
any jack will do either under the axle or under the radius arm . Always use axle stands if working under it though never trust a jack no matter how good

+1 I use a Halfrauds 2 ton jack which reaches OK under the radius arm mounts and I have a 2" lift.

I also have a Halfords 2 tonne jack it's very good considering it only cost £40. As much as I trust it though I always use axle stands

The jack that comes with the Jimny is ideal to use on the radius arms links since it is cupped. Once you have lifted your suspension, getting the thing up become harder and harder.

For a hydraulic bottle jack, is the axle the best place (less prone to slip)?
