Default The right high-lift jack.

I'm wanting to get a high-lift jack but which size should I get? 48" or the 60" I'm running 3.50" lift and 35" tires.

The 48" will work fine for your use. It will also fit into your Jeep much easier

With the 48" one I would be fine in the back but only have 6" to lift the front, to the max height.

I have the Rancho rock gear front and rear bumpers so it has a mounting location already.

Thank you sir. I would rather have the 48" because of the difference in weight.

I Have the 48" and have to strap the axle to the frame in the front because my RK 3.5" flexs to the point it won't lift a tire.

LOL, I have no lift to speak of and I went with a 60". I have the Body Armor rear bumper to sit it on and it just fit inside the width of the Jeep. I have been working on my front end and it's been a great help getting the Jeep on my overkill jack stands.
