My 48" jack fits inside, it is bolted down, it will work when I need it because it isn't covered with dust or mud, I have it with me all the time so I can use it if I need it, and it does everything a hi lift jack is suppose to do. For me a 60" hi lift would be a total waste of money, space, and weight, but I'm only running a 4.5" lift with 35s.

Why not just keep a small bottle jack under the rear seat? I feel infinitely more safer with my bottle on top of a 2x4 block than using my 48" farmjack.

Can you lift a fallen free so your buddy's wrangler can fit under with a bottle jack. Or can you lift same wrangler (6" lift, 33" tires) lift the tire a foot off the ground and not max out lift capacity? Just sayin, it's also a come-along and like 5 other awesome things. And I use mine to help support other gear in trunk... VERSATILITY!!
