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.

 

Pick this up too

Thanks! I don't normally keep jack stands in the Jeep, but this is something to consider.

 

Lift from the tire/rim with Lift-Mate..... hooks on to the hi-lift and tire rim....

Has anyone had any experience with the harbor freight hi lift jack? i like their tools but i'm not too sure if i should trust something like that.

 

I don't understand the point of this device. How are you supposed to change out to a spare if you're using the wheel as a jack point?

 

Then you have to use a jack stand to lower the axle back down on. Then install new tire, lift and remove jack stand, drive away.

 

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 don't have to change out tires very often, but I do seem to get stuck more than I like....

 

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.

 

Really? Are your stock bumpers all tweaked, by any chance?

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.

 

Can get a new one for like $38

 

Yeah, but not from the jack. Mostly from trees, rocks, and the time I dropped off a ledge and nose dived into the ground

 

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
