Default High lift jack ?

Just got a 48" high lift jack . Is it safe to use with the stock bumpers and where do you keep it in your jeep ?

Your stock bumpers are way too flimsy to use a highlift on, the frt is plastic over thin metal, the rear is all plastic

Here is another interesting problem with a JK and a high lift.

You will be hard pressed to get the wheels off the ground!

They have a set up that lets you lift a wheel which is useful for putting rocks under the tire.

I have one and I picked up the wheel lift piece. It is also useful as a form of a hand winch but you can imagine that is a slow process!

Not technicaly "in" my Jeep, but I mounted mine on the hood.









Cost me 100 bucks for the bracket.

Who's got the best price on these things? I checked Dave's site and there's nothing listed on there for HiLift.
