Hi-Jack
 
What length Hi-lift Jack do most go with,,, 48" 60" or?

BIG JOHN 04-07-2010 05:55 PM

48" should be more than enough. That's what I have!

Not all the time. If you're stuck in big rocks or deep mud, and you have a lift, 60" can be a must.

I went with 48" If you need more than that, be sure to have a buddy with you!!

Hmmm,, well that could be a problem..... I'm thinking 60" it will be.

I got a great deal on a 60" Extreme at an off road expo for the same price of a 48". :ya:

DUDE, this is not a 48", it's a 36"

The object of a Hi-Lift jack is not to change a tire - it's to get you out of a sticky situation. If you are using the jack to change a tire, DON'T. Your JK won't be stable.

A Hi-Lift jack is great for winching sideways out of a tight jamb, lifting a corner that's already light a bit higher to stack rocks, and a variety of other useful situations. Don't know how you plan to use yours, but it's a great stand-by for impossible "stuck" situations. You don't need your tires off the ground - you need to get un-stuck. 48" is plenty.

Once again, I don't agree. Sometime, 48" is not enough.

look the photo of the 60" hi lift. Imagine the same situation with a 48" hi lift...

I was stuck in very deep mud at the Terrebonne' s Trail in 2008, a guy had a 60" hi lift, and there was about 6" left...
