Best Off-Road Jack for the Trail

On the trail, a jack has to be light enough to carry, compact enough to store and stable on sand, dirt and rock. Here's how the trail jacks we carry compare, and how to choose between them.

What to look for

Capacity that matches your vehicle, with room to spare.
Travel and height adjustment to reach your lift points with a flat tire on soft ground.
Weight and storage size, since it rides with you on every trip.
Mounting, so it stays put over rough ground instead of bouncing around the bed.

AGM Manual Jack - Pro

The AGM Manual Jack - Pro is compact and light, with specs built for UTVs:

3,000 lb capacity, 14 inches of travel and 17 inches of external height adjustment
Weighs 11 lbs and folds to 27.5 inches for storage
A concave pad that resists sinking in sand
A modular mounting system that locks the jack to your vehicle

AGM also makes weld-on mount kits for a permanent home on the chassis.

AGM Manual Jack Sport

The AGM Manual Jack Sport brings the Pro's design to a lower price. It has 2,000 lb capacity, 15 inches of travel and 14 inches of external adjustment. You can lift by hand, with a drill or with an impact. A 90-degree drive keeps your hands clear of fenders.

AGM Electric Jack

The AGM Electric Jack lifts with a single button and runs on a standard drill battery. It also has quick-release height adjustment on the fly, and AGM rates it for rollover recoveries too.

AGM Scissor Jack HD

For lifted trucks and loaded overland rigs, the AGM Scissor Jack HD offers 13.8 inches of travel and a 20.5-inch max height. It collapses to 6.7 inches, and an 18V drill does the lifting through its reduction gearbox.

Pro Eagle Phoenix CO2 Air Jack

The lightest option we carry. The Phoenix CO2 Air Jack weighs 5.6 lbs and lifts up to 2,000 lbs, running on small 20-25g CO2 cartridges. It has a 12-inch minimum height and a 24-inch max. Need a lower starting height? The Phoenix DS starts at 8.5 inches.

Pro Eagle "Talon"

If you have the room, a wheeled jack is the most stable lift on uneven ground. The Pro Eagle 1.5 Ton "Talon" is Pro Eagle's most compact off-road floor jack and includes a 15-inch extension.
