I got my Hilift jack and built an adaptor ( thanks todd) to lift my KJ. It worked good, but I had to raise the body about 2' to get the wheel off, and where do you store this thing? Any one use a bottle jack and just raise the axel 5 or 6". |

'02's came with a great little bottle jack - so I use that for nearly everything. I use a 4x6 x 16" long humk of Douglas Fir for the jack to sit on to compensate for the lift/tires. The Hi-Lift only comes out for the trail or other misc. uses. Todd |

Hilift jacks work great on things that don't have a suspension. I use one on my tractor all the time. But for your Jeep it will be much easier to use a bottle jack or small floor jack to get the tire off the ground. Plus they'll be easier to carry and move around. |

The 48" jack will fit under the rear seat. Or mount to a roof basket. |

Ditto above, I store the 48" lift under the rear seat. A hi-lift canbe useful but I have found it quicker to use a bottle or scissor style jack for tire changes or just to get a rock under a tire , etc. |

I thought that there wasn't anywhere on the KJ to use as a lift point, unless you have a bull bar up front (and a rear bar). It's all plastic, so where are you lifting from? |

Rock rails work. If you are lifting the kj to do work at home, get a good floor jack. For out on the trail, highlift with a homemade base works. Should fit under the back seats unless the new KJ's lower rear seats are too low. |
