High Lift Jack Use on Stock?
I have the opportunity to get a high lift jack; however, I'm still rockin' stock bumpers and nothing to protect the rocker panels. My question is: Can I use this high lift jack with my Jeep as described? If so, where do you put it?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I use my Hi Lift on the stock bumpers all the time. It works.
And I don't trust anything from Harbor Freight. Especially their offbrand Hi Lift, or any offbrand Hi Lift for that matter.

I had one and it lasted me only about 3 years before I broke a part the keeps it lifted. You would be better of paying more and not end up without it when you need it. I did use it a lot and I used it on my old K10 blazer.

I just saw that this high-lift jack is NOT Hi Lift, but "probably Harbor Freight". It's up for $50 and figured it would be better than nothing.

I have the Reese brand of the Hi-Lift jack. It is built very well and was a little cheaper at my local TSC. I generally don't use it but if I ever need it, I have it. I like that I can use it as a jack, a clamp, a spreader or a come-along.

I've got an old farm jack and it works great. you could use the rear hitch as a jacking point.... I have sliders a winch bumper and a hitch so I can lift from all sides. What ever you do make sure you use jack stands DON'T TRUST JUST THE JACK. not worth your life
