I bought a used truck (98 Dodge) that didn't have a jack or (more importantly) a handle to lower the spare tire. I was very happy to find this item. It fits nicely behind the truck seat (along with a bottle jack) and works as intended by raising and lowering the spare tire. Now I carry the spare tire under the bed of the truck instead of in it!
This product works very well. Well made and got to my house quickly. The only downside is that the wheel wrench is for 3/4 inch bolts only found on Dodge 1500 trucks. I have a 1 ton 3500 ram and 15/16" nuts. I only have a 15/16" socket and a folding wrench with me. In general this is a good product. Just make sure you know what nuts you have.
I got this because my truck had a jack... and nothing else. Got it and was like SWEET! Tried to loosen a few nuts while replacing the shock absorber and broke the ratchet in the wrench. Thank goodness I didn't do it on the side of the road! I will remove ALL the lug nuts and apply an anti-seize coating and see if the NEW one holds. Either way, it might be a good idea to bring a proper wrench so you don't get into trouble.
