High lift

Honestly haven't used one in years. Used to use one with my '78 Buick Skylark, of all things... but now I carry around a floor jack and two bottle jacks. Though I hear a lot of people love the hi-lift, and it makes me kind of want one.

A Hi-Lift is definitely towards the top on my list f things to buy, can be used as a lift, and a come along/"winch" (unlike floor jacks, bottle jacks and exhaust jacks)if you have chains and get in a bad situation

Like them so much I have 2, 4' and 5'. Use them all the time. Handle works great to sleeve a stock tie rod when you bend one too.

I like mine so far and just keep on thinking of all what it can be used for! According to my friends its a complete waist of money but when hes got a flat and his regular jack won't reach I am just going to be laughing.

I have Hi-Lift's in both my XJ and my Power Wagon and have hardly ever used them. IF I can use it, I use my bottle jack but when I NEED the Hi-Lift, I have it. I can jack with it, use it as a come-a-long, a clamp or a spreader. I have had a vehicle slide sideways more than once when using it but I don't like going to the woods without it.
