First of all. Hello to everyone out there. I just got my JK last week and I love this site. This is my first post so please bear with me.

I purchased a Hi-lift Xtreme jack a couple of days ago to aid in recovery and use as a come-along if needed until I can get bumpers and a winch. Since there a pretty much no lift points to use the Hi-lift without rocker guards or steel bumpers (please correct me if I am wrong) I began looking around and found a couple of companies selling air jacks.

It looks like a handy device so I am curious if anyone has used one or seen one used and what you think about them.

I want to comply with the JK-forum policy and not post a direct link. So please take a look at a site called www. "airjackusa" or "air-jack" .com for examples.

Thanks

I'm in the market for a hi-lift jack and was wondering about this option as well - anyone have experience with these?

I have the ARB x-jack. It works great epecially when you are not on solid or level ground. I have only used on my own rig twice but I have used a lot of times on other rigs. It also works great in combination with I high lift. You can also use the high lift to do the jacking and inflate the x-jack for stabilty. It really makes trail repairs much safer. I purchased a small compessor from costco to inflate it with, the tail pipe method is faster but a pita and can't be done solo.
