Yes but if the rim was on the ground , tire flat the HF air bottle jack will fit under the axles? Is this correct. I'll order tonight If it will fit

If you are down on the rim you will need the short stubby jack HF has then do a transfer to a taller jack. The short stubby under the axle then transfer to a taller jack or extend out the stubby jack when you can get a stand under the axle mounting plate.

Two flat tires on the same rear axle you are having a real bad day. You can always drive up on a 2x6 to get more clearance.

The HF 12 ton jack works fine for me.  I also use the 3/4 drive battery impact.  Dis mounting  was as described.  A nice thick blanket will help  the shiny parts.
The Ebay large tire tools worked but I cut off part of the lever. Now it is easy.
16oz of plastic BBs seems to work fine also. Large enough to not plug anything up . But pay attention to  getting in the bead .  Take your time . not bad .  I did 2 a day.

Not sure,  I have a 12 ton  (you are just lifting one side at at a time) that is 7" tall and it will just fit if you are on a hard surface and on the wheel.

The tire beads I purchased are 1/10 of a inch. So last night I installed beads in my toad ( 2006 Dodge 3500 mega cab). Please understand I think they are snake oil. Anyway today me and D/W ran down to the steel supplier to purchase gate material and the hop I've driven with for over a decade with multiple different tires and truck on 215 in Henderson Nevada is gone. I've spent thousands on shocks, tires, shackles but everyone has that darn hop in pickup trucks with leaf springs
 Well it's gone. 8 ounces can really make that much of a difference. I'm Amazed. The electric impact are amazing yet scary. After a very light install I put a torque wrench on the lug nuts to torque to 140 and they were all within one half of one flat of being at 140. I have very little sense how tight they get so quickly. Scott

Road force balancing helps as does dynamic balancing. And having tires with no carcass overlap(hard spot)

Under the I-beam, it's 10.25 inches and the HF 20 ton is 10.50 inches minimum. However, if you go forward inboard of the shocks, there are several places on the 3"x4" tubing to lift the coach with a lot of space even with a tire dead flat. You can see that I don't lift the coach on the rear axle but my adapter is forward on the big bulkhead angle iron and the 3"x4" tubing. It's easy and the coach can't slip off the jack.

It should be noted that the minimum and the maximum on the jack can't be accomplished in one event. Rather, you must stop, lower on a jack stand, lower the jack and unscrew the top of the jack to gain more height.

More than speed, safety is the most important consideration in lifting the coach. We used tp get the CHP monthly magazine at the station. Frequently, there would be photos of an accident where the car slipped off the jack with someone underneath. These photos never made the newspaper.
