| Post subject: | Hi Lift Jack question. |
I'm looking to replace my extremely well worn 36 inch Hi-Lift Cast/Steel Jack with a 48 or 60 inch Hi-Lift X-TREME Jack. I've found that I could use a longer jack from time to time. Which would you buy? A 48 inch or the 60 inch? I'm also going to buy some of the accessories like Neoprene Jack Cover, or Jack Protector weather-resistant soft case. Fix-It-Kit Adjustable Tube Mount, Handle Keeper (Although a simple Velcro strap does the same thing.) Lift-Mate. "Lift from the wheel instead of the bumper.", Off-Road Base (Mine finally bought the farm!) Bumper Lift. "Use your Hi-Lift Jack to easily lift vehicles with curved bumpers." (Good to help others out of a situation. Not much use on a stock KJ bumper!) http://www.hi-lift.com/hi-lift-jacks/x-treme.html http://www.hi-lift.com/accessories/index.html Any suggestions or comments? Also looking to either buy or make my own Pull Pal. (Clone it!) http://www.pullpal.com/quotes.html Any suggestions or comments? Cheers Ry' |

http://www.zaib4x4.com/catalog/product_ ... ts_id=4370 42" Hi lift a bit pricey IMHO http://www.amazon.com/Hi-Lift-Jack-HL48 ... 523&sr=1-2 48" on Amazon only $6 more roughly http://www.4by4connection.com/hija48sst.html Another 48" for only 62 and change. We might want to have someone jump in here though and say which is better, all cast or stamped. Just to be safe

I've been pretty happy with the 48-inch hi-lift. It's a good size. I've never used the 60 but I think it would be overkill on the KJ. Where would you put it? The 48 will fit (just barely) under the rear seats. |

I figure I'll either mount it up on my roof rack/basket or fab something up to fit it between my winch and grill. A little easier to get to. |

A little easier to get to. Yeah, I've got mine on a roof basket now. Under the seat is a pain, but a good low-cost solution. I suppose there might be situations where the extra length of a 60" would come in handy. But 48 is pretty big and heavy already. |

Cast is stronger. |
