Jim, you’ll be fine using the # PM94FR on gravel or compacted dirt. The nearly 10" by 10" square base is thick steel and helps distribute weight evenly so the jack doesn’t sink. This jack also comes with a cradle adapter for axles and different frame designs. I think you'll really like it!
Do you mostly do tire work in the driveway or while traveling?

Thanks, Andrew. I’m usually out on gravel roads with my horse trailer or side-by-side hauler, so I never have a clean spot to work. Will that plate hold steady if the ground’s a little uneven?
