Not sure if im in the right section for this. But i need a jack and im not sure if i should get a 48 or a 60" ? Im lifted 5.5 inches and sitting on 33s, they are both close in price, will the 48" be plenty or should i shoot for the 60? Thanks

DirtRoadXJ

go with the 60. you can never have too much imo.

Bmkerner

Well if they are both close in price why not just get the bigger one ? I mean u never know what u might get into later on down the road ! Bigger is always better lol

BrickBrizzle

Yeah thats what i was thinkin. I eventually wanna get a roof rack and mount it up there. But for now it will be stored in the back, hows a 60 fit back there diagonally?

BrickBrizzle

Lol thats true.

I fit a 60 in the back with the seats down, its not properly secured though and could kill me in a wreck now that I think of it, I should fix that.
I only take it wheeling

The 60" is a tight squeeze, but it is totally worth it. I'm on 31's and maybe 4" of lift and I have gotten into situations wheeling where it was good to have the 60", and I currently store it in the back. I also have a 31" tire back there and a large Rubbermaid tub with straps and tools. I like to keep my seat folded down to keep it from stacking up too high but lately I've had to carry 4 people and its very doable. I dealt with the same situation about a year ago when I bought mine and I went with the 60" and don't regret it one bit.

Thanks alot, exactly what i was hopeing to hear, im sick (got a cold or flu or somethin) and really dont feel like goin out in the cold with a tape measure lol ill go ahead and submit my order . 58 bucks free shipping on amazon for a 60 inch hi-lift for anyone else in need of a jack

BrickBrizzle

Ill find a way to secure it untill i get a roof basket unless i change my mind about that

A 48 inch is scary enough. I have a 4.5 inch lift with 34s and the 48 works fine, just strap your axle to frame so the suspension doesnt drop.

I went with a 60.. Better to have it n not need it than to need it and not have it

Rock Toy

I have a 48" hi lift and I'm running 4.5 with 35s chain the axle to frame to stop axle drop, works great and fits in the back and is bolted down so it won't kill me. ( that is always a plus )

I run a 60 mainly b/c Its left over from when I had my Unimog but I wouldn't change it. I bolt mine to the roof rack; I'm not having that beast in my cabin with me, lol.

BrickBrizzle

Lol. I may just utilize the factory roofrack and come up with some brackets and locks, theft is a big concern where i live
