One of my cousins got clapped by a jack handle about 3 times before he was able to fall out of the way.
What do people use for a jack?

I was on 37's from 2009 - 2019. Most of those years I did just fine with the OEM jack and AEV jack base thingy. Toward the end I got them wet on a rare AZ rainy trail day and it wasn't long before it rusted and siezed.
Since moving to 42's and not being a daily driver I always have a Harbor Freight 6-ton jack stand wedged under the rear basket and I'll pick up a corner by the beadlock ring with the High-Lift.
I work out in the middle-east and the 4x4 clubs out here require you to have a trolley-jack and some sort of base for it to keep it from sinking into the sand (wood, traction board, etc.) Initially I scoffed at the idea, but I got a cheap $40 2-Ton one off Amazon and it honestly surprised me. It's fairly small, comes in a case, and if I break it or lose it, I'm not that invested in it.
