I know some shocks can handle this and some will not. So does anyone know how it is with OME shocks....safe or should i strap it berofe i lift my axle up ?
Are they designed to carry all this axle weight when lifting up ?

another picture using long ram jack.
WARNING ! Never go under it trusting this jack setup ! It may collapse or loose its pressure suddenly...crushing you.
Always use proper support for your jeeps weight other than this jack !

x2 That scares me more then a highlift (quote bly109)
at least a highlift has a base(is it just me or does this jeep have no flex,and where are the front sway bar links?)

This jack is pretty safe i feel as i normally use 12mm or 16mm bolt to attach upper end to my front bumper or rear frame rail...as you can see from the picture.
I have a thick plywood base for it where i bolt lower end to...was just too lazy to take it for these pictures.
Also i never go under it without using any support other than jack alone...it can collapse as it doesnt have any possibility to lock it like we can do with highlift by inserting a long bolt into holes or other measures..

Swaybar links are removed...front and rear.

Thanks David...are there any pictures avail which are showing how these shocks are built...
And btw...when is it possible to place international orders to you...
