Range Rover Blues:
On  standard Defender you will  jack the body/chassis up until the damper is fully extended, then the wheel will lift from the ground.  I don't know which type of jack comes with the Defender though but don't they have the round sockets for a hi-lift style jack as standard?

When you modify for better articulation then one of the issues to address is how to change wheels (if you have any sense it is) and I accept that whilst 9/10 of the time a bottle jack is an ideal solution, as a trolley jack might be that there are occasions when it isn't.

So to answer the original question, yes, with great articulation you risk running out of jack.
