Yes you're seeing it right . Just a little bit, at least it is recessed and stable now.
I could slide it to one side .. have to test that.

I headed off road today, so I needed to be confident I could jack up my 110 if need be. The problem I ran into previously is that the combination of a SafeJack bottle jack and a Hi-Lift Off Road Base (ORB) is problematic. The shape of the rectangle that holds the bottle jack has a lip around it that blocks the valve used to release pressure and let the vehicle down. When I experimented in my driveway I didn't notice the issue until the wheel was in the air; at that point I wasn't able to lower the jack using the jack handle. I had to get a pair of vice grips to let the car down.

So this morning before heading out I used my dremel tool to gouge out a channel for the jack handle to get to the valve. It won't affect the strength or stability of the base, but it does allow me to operate the jack safely.

Pics below for anyone interested.

I hope you are not under the vehicle with that setup.

 

Not a chance.

 

Reviving this old thread to learn if there's been any new ideas on how to raise the truck with air suspension high enough with a bottle jack to change a tire. Using blocks or extensions doesn't seem to be the answer since it's not an issue of getting the jack high enough to reach the jack point, but rather the amount of jack travel has to be greater that the suspension travel to get the tire to clear. A few weeks ago, since I couldn't get the tire high enough off the trail, I chose to lower the trail by digging out underneath the tire. Not something I want to make a habit of doing.

It seems the only sure way to do this is a two-step process. Jack the truck up, settle it on a jack stand, use a block or extension and jack the truck up again off the stand. Any better ideas? I was thinking of this since it disassembles to a small profile for storage.

 

I believe you’re referring to air suspension models? My coils don’t seem to have that issue, but I admit I haven’t played with it since I put on rock sliders. Next dry weekend I have I’ll play with it again and confirm I can jack high enough to change the tire.

A question for the air suspension owners - wouldn’t this be a problem for the OEM scissor jack too?

 

Yep, air suspension. (and I edited my post to make that clear, thanks.) The scissor jack has a surprisingly large travel so it does work. However, I had the "pleasure" of using it on the trail once. Something I never, ever want to do again.

 

I've never used it on my 110 but I was having the same problem on my Jeep with a lift kit and went with a double ram and that worked. It would probably work on our Land Rovers as well. The one I used is

 

Wow! I did not know these existed. Already ordered. Thanks.
