  neat idea but it says no f250's so I would assume that my f350 crewcab is out

It's an old concept.  Never used one, or knew that anyone was making one.  Might lift a jeep sized vehicle or a compact truck, but bigger rigs might be too heavy.

Never used 1 but when I worked for the railroad we used air bags to raise rail cars. They were amazing. Way prefered over a hydralic jack

When we first got them I said no way in hell I'm jacking a 40 ton rail car with a f%&*(#@n balloon. Wasnt long and I became a believer.

Don't some fire/rescue teams use something like that to lift vehicles as well?  I'm guessing theirs inflates off of compressors though.

The link was just for one manufacturer.  There are more options out there that will handle heavier rigs.   Price rangess seems pretty reasonable to have one to switch between rigs for just in case.

Pulled the trigger on the ARB X-Jack  - $210 from Amazon with free shipping.  8800 lb capacity.  That is the only one I could find any real feedback on and it had some really good feedback.  I will let you know if I ever have to use it.  Also pulled the trigger on an Engo 9000 with Synthetic that will be on a reciever mount for swapping back and forth between rigs - $409 delivered from Truck Add Ons.  Between those the the other gear I have, I should be able to get really stuck good......
