Here's the recovery we did on my bro's XJ after he snapped his shaft. We were going to use the highlift frame, but then Usgaone remembered seeing an "axle roller" for rent in the office at Raucsh creek. It worked really well.

I used my Hi Lift many times when I had my TJ. One look at the JK and I added a steel front winch bumper, rock rails and a trailer hitch. Problem solved. Most frequent uses for me have been to stack rocks and to "slide off" when high centered. I've never had a flat tire. I also carry a 14" X 14" piece of 3/4 inch plywood to put under the jack when in sand.

Use a rock under the axle, you know...on a solid rock I stand.

I have used the hi lift on the rubi rails. all held up fine and no problem. I like to lift from a D-ring though for a little more stability. Its kinda scary when the jeep shifts and you can see the jack sway side to side.

Helped a fellow member on here jack up the front end of his JK with a hi-lift using the stock bumper...we just put it in the center of the bumper and there wasn't any damage afterwards.

Great thanks. I've used my old one on CJ's easily enough but not on the JK yet. Maybe when I strip or change out the bumpers it'll be easier.... that and maybe rock rails for the side.

They call the jacks "Widow Makers" for a reason. I have ran calls where the jack fell and crushed the person underneath. The handle can also kick-back and pop ya if you are not careful.
