High lift necessity?
At what point does it become necessary to use or carry a high lift with you?
Or at what tire size does the standard jack become unsafe?
I know high lifts can be quite dangerous, just want to make sure I don't find myself sitting with my thumb in my ass if the occasion arises that I need it.

Hi lift extreme saved my ass once already where my winch just was impractical at the angle I was at. Tomorrow it will help me install a new set of bilsteins in the parking lot as I lunched not one but BOTH rear fox 2.0 shocks (torn seals from sand abrading the chrome) out on race point this week.

Get creative... I've used wheel lips, sliders, shackle points, bumpers, cages, tow hitches, tie rods, etc... Just be very careful to respect this type of jack, it can be dangerous, even when used correctly.

Dangerous indeed. But super effective when used correctly. I just worry about putting it under things like bumper edges, wheel lips, etc. because in those positions a lot of times it has nothing to keep it from sliding left and right.
