from the operator's manual the jacks look to be the same as found on civvy 73-87s...except the cucvs have them mounted behind the seat , or behing the passenger side fenderwell (blazers only).

Hi,
I had to use my jack and lug wrench today as I got a puncture on the driver's side front [
!] . This was just at the start of a St. Patrick's Day parade I was attending with my M1008 and S-250 Shelter/Trailer. I have the stock Jack/Handle/Lug Wrench kit for my truck which works well enough. I think the hardest thing to get for the original kit is the mounting bracket and hardware which is important if you dont want the kit rattling around in your truck. I would say that the angle of bend on the lug wrench can make removal of the front lug nuts a little awkward as it interferes with the locking hub part that sticks out on the front wheels. A possible answer to this would be to carry a ratchet, extension & suitable socket which would make lug nut removal a lot quicker.

If you do any kind of off roading then you may want to look into getting a highlift jack I mounted mine at the bottom of the rear cab wall behind the seat, there was alread one hole cutout I guess for the radio or shelter unit :redface:
