And I use mine to help support other gear in trunk... VERSATILITY!!

Roommate bought me the kit to make it happen, haven't needed it on the trail yet, but it worked as a clamp to help pull axle into place to line up the rear LCA bolt hole for the afore mentioned wrangler...

I used to have a 48" farm jack I got from Harbor Freight and it was the worst thing invented by man. No Hi-Lift accessories could be used with it and it was generally awful.
