Designed for demanding off-road recovery

The Badland 48 In. Trail Jack is engineered for serious off-road demands, making it the right tool for a variety of high-lift scenarios where standard equipment fails. Its design directly addresses the needs of recovery, maintenance, and preparedness for those who venture far from paved roads.

Lifting large, lifted vehicles on the trail

For anyone who takes large trucks or lifted SUVs into remote terrain, a standard bottle jack simply cannot provide the necessary height or stability. This trail jack delivers the critical lift needed to address a flat tire or mechanical issue miles from the nearest shop.

Undercarriage access and trailside maintenance

When you need to inspect or service the undercarriage of your vehicle in the field—whether checking for damage after an obstacle or performing a fluid change—the 48-inch lift capacity provides safe, ample clearance to work effectively underneath.

Assisting in complex vehicle recovery

In recovery situations where a vehicle is high-centered or stuck, this jack can be used to lift an axle, allowing you to place traction aids or rearrange gear for a better extraction attempt, turning a dead stop into a solvable problem.

Completing a comprehensive recovery kit

Building a complete off-road recovery kit means having gear for multiple contingencies. This high-lift jack complements winches and straps by handling the vertical recovery and maintenance tasks that pulling equipment cannot address.

Professional service on uneven job sites

For mobile mechanics, contractors, or utility workers who service vehicles on uneven job sites, the jack’s robust construction and high capacity offer a dependable solution for getting heavy work trucks and vans off the ground for repairs.

Self-reliance during overlanding adventures

Even when camping or overlanding, having a capable jack provides peace of mind. It ensures you can handle a sudden tire failure or make necessary adjustments to your rig, keeping your adventure on track without external assistance.
On-Trail Usage

How to use your trail jack effectively

Prepare a stable lifting area

Before lifting, ensure the vehicle is on the most stable and level ground available. Use stabilizers or flat rocks if needed. Position the jack under the manufacturer’s designated frame lift points to avoid damage and ensure a secure lift.

Begin the controlled lift

Once positioned, begin pumping the jack handle with smooth, steady strokes. Monitor the vehicle’s ascent, keeping an eye on the lift point and the jack’s base for any shift. Continue until the tire or component clears the ground sufficiently.

Secure with jack stands

With the vehicle raised, immediately place sturdy jack stands under the designated support points. Lower the vehicle onto the stands to create a secure, redundant support system before performing any work underneath.

What off-roaders are saying

TrailRider88

Used this jack to change a tire on my lifted Bronco out on the trail. It lifted the front end with no problem, and the base felt solid on the dirt. Took a little muscle to pump it up fully, but that’s expected. It’s a beast for the price.

OffRoadMechanic

I keep this in my recovery gear for work sites and off-road trips. The 48-inch lift is perfect for the large service trucks we handle. It’s straightforward, tough, and does exactly what it promises without any fancy parts that can break.

DesertFox

After using cheaper jacks that failed me, I invested in this Badland. The stability it offers on uneven rock is impressive. It’s heavy, which is a plus for durability, and the height is more than enough for my truck. A reliable addition to any rig.

UtilityUser

Needed a jack that could handle my heavy work van on construction sites. This trail jack fits the bill. The steel construction feels indestructible, and it gets the vehicle up high enough for undercarriage checks. A practical tool that delivers.
