Bronco II jack rod

[saross07]

We have a 1989 Bronco II. After a recent repair, we noticed the jack rod stored in 2 clips on the top of the radiator support was missing. Searches at salvage yards came up with a rod that is similar but has some bends that prevent it from fitting.
Can someone send the dimensions of the jack rod to me? As I recall, it is straight along the length until it takes two right angle bends to form a crank handle.
Using a torch & welder, I can modify the one I have to fit if I have the dimensions.
Thanks.

Mine is gone also. I'm not concerned.

I carry a bottle jack with me which works far better than the screw type jack that came from the factory. They're not very expensive either. $20 will get you a decent one at Sears and save a lot of frustration from using that horrible jack.

The factory jack was a bottle jack. I have spare jack rods. I do not have any way to measure them for the next few days.

the factory jack was a screw-type bottle jack. i have to assume that superds was talking about a hydraulic bottle jack. i carry a 2 ton floor jack as my spare tire jack. either way the stocker was junk.

We cut mine up to repair a twisted driveshaft on the trail (4" lengths welded around where it was twisted, not my rig though)

Yeah, sorry, that is what I meant. I replaced the factory screw type bottle jack with a hydraulic bottle jack.

I want to say that full size trucks had the same or similar rod.

I don't really have a way to measure mine though, I'm on my way out the door for another 3 days of 14-16hr days.

Check Ebay or just do what I did when I had my 84 and 89 Bronco II's....I bought a really great bottle jack (which I still have now) and it was easy to store and way much easier to use and a lot safer then the stock crap.

True, but when I hear "screw jack" I think about these:
