im planning on getting a high lift jack
has anyone bought the high lift farm jack from harbor freight
and do you like it and how it works and have you had any problems with it

 

i got the Farm Jack from Farm n' Fleet, 50 bucks and its better then High-lift in my opinion.

 

I have the 48" Hi-Lift and love it.... great in all kinds of situations... except jacking up the vehicle, not very sturdy for that.

 

I got the 48" high lift. Can be used for all kinds of ways. I've used it to move downed trees. As a come along to get unstuck. And it lifts the body high enough to change a tire.

 

X2 for jacking up vehicle

 

It works great for jacking up the vehicle. I don't know what kind of problems you are having with the jack that you and Donnie K think that it isn't sturdy enough to jack up a Cherokee.

 

Hi jacks work perfectly fine to jack up a rig, thats what they are for, but they have a small base and can be very dangerous, its better to get the wider base attatchment for them.

 

I just haven't got the wider base for it. But when you on the highway and cars are going 80+ mph pass you while changing a tire it gets pretty sketch

 

exactly. The base is too narrow and it's just not that stable. I think you can buy a a plastic base with a bigger footprint for it, But I haven't tried that yet to tell you wether it actually helps or not. Plenty strong enough to lift the jeep... but real easy to knock over.

 

As long as you have 3 wheels on the ground and the vehicle will not move your good. I have not had any of these issues with it being unstable yet.
