Default Smittybilt Jack

Saw a Smittybilt hi lifting jack online..its zinc plated and such akin to the hi-lift extreme, except its only $60 bucks. I assume its made in china. Has anybody heard of these things? I'll probably still buy a hi-lift to support the economy but still...it's tempting.

Yea I know, and I agree hi-lift sets the bar... but the smitty bilt is the same price as the hi-lift cast/stamp and is supposedly comparable to the hi-lift extreme....I'm curious if anybody knows how the lift operates in the field.

I have never used one prior, but just some food for thought: How many other SB products have less than met our expectations??

I get reminder of that everytime I get in my Jeep.

My seat covers that were once black and gray are now purple and silver.
