Hi-Lift jacks pros and cons

[afrasay]

Do I really need it?

[OTEP]

I don't think you have jacking points on your truck suitable for a Hi-Lift (or its competitor, the JackAll). Hi-Lifts usually jack up using the rocker panel protectors (rock skis), the bullbar (like Ungas' and KimpOy's), or the rear bumper.

You could always get the Hi-Lift bumper adaptor so that you can lift the vehicle even if it has standard bumpers. But it does not guarantee that the stock bumper will not get bent or damaged if used with the adaptor.

Oh well, you can always use the Hi-Lift as a hand winch if you have tow straps and other stuff. Just tie one end of the strap to a tree then tie it to the base of the Hi-Lift. Get anothe strap and tie it to your rig while the other end goes to the Hi-Lift's moving jaw. Then winch away (very slowly)!

A Hi-Lift jack on your spare tire will make your rig look way cool. :mrgreen:

afrasay,

May locking mount ang Kaymar (made in Aussie Land din). Or you can fab one up like the shovel lock dun sa LC70 namin.
