Exclamation Need help quick!!Hi-Lift or other brand.
I have the chance to buy a new hi-lift tyle 60" jack for cheap. He is going to check tonight but is not sure if it's a Hi-Lift brand or not. What has everyone else had for luck with a non Hi-Lift brand farm jack? Do I stick with just the hi-Lift or will any work? I mainly want it in case I have to winch myself out. (Can't affors a winch at this time)

I own two hi-lifts. One is in each of my jeeps. They work when I need them...


Both mine are 48" jacks.

Thanks you. I didn't end up going with it. It was way to big at 60" and it was not a name brand.

When shopping for Hi Lift jacks, do an internet search... you can get much lower prices than specialty vendors.

Oh so true, just have to find or fab mounts so its not flopping in the rear. I have not found anything I truly like yet.

What are the major differences between the Hi-lift and the Farm Jack?
