Default Bumper Jacks

Does anyone know if some bumper jacks are universal? I've been looking around and can only find them for old muscle cars. Is it possible to make these work on a Cherokee? javascript:;
Or like one with a jack saddle... javascript:;

Buy a high lift. I get what your talking about but those jacks were dangerous thats why they switched to bottle jacks (Way safer.).

X2 on the High-Lift jack.

These can be dangerous too, (same reasons as a bumper jack can be) but the High-Lift is stronger & can be used for other things too.

Besides, you should never leave the pavement without a High-Lift.

I know, but I'm just debating buying an electric winch instead right now.

a high lift can be used for several things. I used mine today to pop the suction off a stuck bronco II I have also used them to lift a tire to place rocks under for traction and i have even used it as a come along before. I find them very usefull!

for the $60-$100 they cost it is a good investment. Nothing like being prepared







but they can indeed become unstable
