Jacking an FFRR for wheel changing

Found this on the Disco 3 site.
Haven't tried it yet but have a feeling it would work on FFRR.
Look also at the pictures in CUCO's gallery.
Could well be easier and safer than using LR supplied jack.
I appreciate LR wouldn't approve, but I don't approve some of the things they do / recommend.

Direct link to the gallery they are all talking about: http://www.disco4.com/gallery/index.php?cat=25524

Very impressive indeed, might even find a level car park later and try it out (my drive is about a 25 degree slope).

I've used this method since I've had my P38, basically extend the suspension as far as possible, use an axle stand or similar under a suitable point by the wheel/wheels you want and lower Thumbs Up

Check the trolley jack adaptors in the D4 and Sport forums.

Make one without the locating peg on top and weld a piece of 30mm square steel 54mm long on top instead. This then locates in the sockets provided for the scissors jack and makes a securely located method of jacking the FFRR safely and easily.

I have a similar one for my MY12 Westminster and of course a suitable trolley jack.

I managed to bend my scissor jack at the side of the motorway in the dark whilst it was Censored down. Gave up eventually called the nice man from the RAC who thought it should be loaded onto a trailer for a flat tyre, told him to f off and got down myself and got dirty with some help from the airsuspension and a very shaky scissor jack.
