Why Every Jeep with Big Tires NEEDS the AEV Jack Base

July 23, 2025 / Austin Huckins

Whether you've lifted your Jeep and thrown bigger tires on to gain more off-road capability or simply to give your rig an impressive stance, you may be overlooking a critical issue. Your stock scissor jack was designed for the stock ride height and will struggle to reach after your Jeep has been equipped with larger tires! Luckily American Expedition Vehicles has solved this issue with a cost effective solution that allows you to continue using your factory scissor jack: The AEV Jack Base.

AEV Jack Base Overview

The AEV Jack Base is a simple, easy to use and cost effective solution to ensure your Jeep equipped with big tires can still utilize the stock scissor jack. Providing 3.5" of additional lift to your scissor jack, the AEV Jack Base provides the optimal boost in height for use with modified Jeeps. This additional height allows for tires up to 37" to be changed. Whether you're changing a tire on the side of the road or on the trail, the AEV Jack base is a must have for any Jeep equipped with larger tires. Best of all, the AEV Jack Base is made right here in the USA!

Ready For Off-Road Use

Built with a 7.5" x 10.5" footprint, the AEV Jack Base provides a stable surface to lift your Jeep with, even on off-road surfaces. The wide footprint allows for greater stability and more flotation on surfaces such as snow and sand, keeping the jack from sinking into the terrain. The Jack Base also includes molded-in nutserts to directly attach to a Hi-Lift Jack. As a bonus, the Jack Base also doubles as a wheel chock in order to secure your Jeep or trailer from rolling.

Packs Away Neatly

When not in use, the AEV Jack Base is designed to pack away neatly and preserve as much interior space as possible. With the JL, the Jack Base fits perfectly into the rear floor cargo compartment and can be optionally mounted under the passenger side dash. For Gladiators, the Jack Base stows away perfectly in the rear underseat cargo compartment.
