i use my stock jack all the time. It can lift pretty high if you put something under it so its an inch or so below an axle tube when the jack is all the way down. I dig it. I've seen some people offroad using hydro bottle jacks to lift an axle, and they tend to not lift nearly as high unless you get a bling one ($$). The factory one is cheap (free!), comes with its own hold down bracket and it works. Doesn't get much better than that.

I like the idea of cutting the center tread on TSLs as you did. I remember some pics they had in a Primedia mag awhile back where they had photos of what a tires tread looked like when aired down (guess they used a piece of plexiglass on an RTI ramp or something)... and the center tread blocks of a TSL at 5 psi was so scrunched together that it was basically treadless. The material you have removed + the extra biting edges should really help that part of the tread grab on at lower PSI. I'm less enthusiastic about cutting outter tread blocks tho... they seem to 'chunk' enough as it is, and their TSL design seems to diminish the "all scrunched together" effect that the center tread has. Not to mention the idea of removing a bunch of rubber from $1000+ tires always gives me the willies.
