this IS extremeNovember 11, 2008 Bob(Western Mass USA) You want a jack like this? then you ARE going to abuse it. I liked the "extreme" version but decided I can add all the good stuff myself for less than $10, There isn't a better jack that approaches this range.
hi-lilft jack already payed for itselfApril 27, 2008 C. Johansen(Utah USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought my hi-liftjack just for general jacking needs. I didn't know that I would need it to lift a large tractor weight into the back of a trailer to take to a salvage yard. It worked perfectly though and then was used again to lift the trailer onto the hitch of my truck. Very useful and very easy to use. I would definetely by again.
Hi-LIft is highly regardedNovember 22, 2006 Paul Mark Provencher(Morgantown, WV USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
One of the first things I learned surfing the web was that nearly everyone who goes off-road takes a Hi-Lift jack along with them. I used to keep a long bumper jack with me when I went with my CJ-2A and even as bad as that jack was, it got me out of several binds.
So there was no doubt that I would get a Hi-Lift jack as one of my first pieces of off-road gear. I decided to get all the trimmings and go for the 60-inch model since I was not expecting to get an electric winch anytime soon, and the extra length may come in handy if I have to manually winch myself using the jack. Even after I got the electric winch, the Hi-Lift is still on my list of essential gear.
I never leave home without it.
My first mounting system consisted of a 4XRAC and Jack Protector cover. I assembled the brackets to the roof rack with some additional hardware that I purchased.
The Hi-Lift is great. I have no doubt that this is an essential tool to have with you at all times.
