Why are used factory spare tire jack kits so expensive?

Here's one for you: A Dodge Dakota jack costs half again what a Dodge Ram jack goes for, THEY'RE THE SAME JACK!!!

Interesting!

I pulled one out of a dodge at the junkyard. It looked similar to the TJ jack but was different. I looked at Cherokees and I think the handle and lug wrench were different.

Thanks!

You could have a 10 foot lift kit, all that matters is tire size for jack purposes (distance between the axle and the ground)

Makes complete sense, learn something new everyday. I’ll have to go out later and see if it lifts my Jeep.
