hi-lift ?
So I need to invest in a new jack.... What is the ideal size hi lift you guys that wheel are using... I will be using it for winching too if need be so I was thinking about the 60".... I'd rather have a little too much than not enough..... Lol. What are some of your opinions and experiences with some different size hi lifts......?

I have a Hi-Lift. Just does not feel safe to use even with the larger base. I WILL keep it and use it for a manual winch if needed.
I have purchased 4 of these for tire changes and rotations. Recently took 1 wheeling and had to replace a sliced sidewall on 1 rig AND a broken tie rod on another. Felt safe in both situations. I won't be using the Hi-Lift for any OffRoad related repairs any more. Best darn thing I have added to my "Wheeling Tools" in a while!

That thing looks pretty cool. And it's only $30...... Have you tried the "off-road" base they have for the hi-lift?

It does not make it any more stable. I've used or seen others use a Hi-Lift a few times. Always made me nervous. |
Lol, those used to be what came with your car up until the mid 70's. Always got a lecture on how unsafe they were from dad.

Hey Jackabonie, last time I checked, those Powerbuilt jackstands were made in China. Surprising that a "I only buy US products and I hate any American who buys foreign" union guy like you would not only admit to buying these Chinese-made products, let alone entrusting your life to a foreigner who made the product. A little bit hypocritical don't you think? Just another one of those things that make you go, hmmm......:D BTW, I have a set of these jackstands, use them all the time, but then again, I don't stand on a "I only buy US" bully pulpit or single-out and bully members of one of the last forums who hasn't banned you because you got upset that they bought a Toyota or a foreign-made product.
