I have the river raider mount for the 48" jack and it is great. It is plenty tall enough to jack my jeep up on the street and if I feel I need more height on the trail i have a few 2" x 6" x 1' pieces of wood that I can stack up, which makes it, essentially, as tall as you want.

I like the 60" lift because it can be used as a manual winch, very handy for the times when you need to winch out backwards!

I'm using a 48" and luckily have only needed it once........but I'm glad I had it..

I took mine completely apart and zip tied the shaft/handle under the rear seat and store the other parts in the rear cubby hole..

I have The 60" but thats because the old jeep was lifted 8"s and a 48" would not reach sometimes. if I was buying one today i might have got the 48.

Whatever size you get, make sure and maintain it regularly. I took a punch from one last week and damn near knocked myself out. 3 chiped teeth and a very sore jaw.
