Default Maybe the best Hi-Lift accessory ever
Bogert has come up with an ingeniously simple solution to the Hi-Lift stability problem.

Two wires, attached to a wide base plate, go up on either side of the jack and attach near the top -- and prevent the Jack from tipping sideways.
The base plate would work on sand, etc'.

Very good idea, but I'll save the $110 and just be safe if I ever have to use it

Good idea but looks like something you can make for about 10 bucks.
