Hi Lift Extreme Jack

[Pete]

The jack got some use today. Used it to remove some stock springs from a JK.

I dont know how we would have gotten those springs changed without it.

It really should be the last resort for a shop jack however.

Here's a shot of us using the high lift jack to change the springs in our RK 1.5 budget build.

REMEMBER - this is not what this jack is for. The only reason it was ok in this instance is because we were not taking the wheel off. AND i had jackstands to back it up in case of failure.

We were in a jam where we couldn't get the spring to release with our standard jacks.

I agree with JL. Never get under a truck on a high lift jack.

Never get under a truck with any jack without jack stands. Yes jack stands are a pain, but its not worth a limb or your life.

And people do die under trucks.

Jack stands people! write it down.

I know there are two lengths of Hi-lift. At what point do I need to move up to the 60" model? I have 37s and roughly 4 inches of lift. I can see needing the larger one to lift it up, but its hard to say.

Stck with the hi-lift extreme. I think it only comes in one size, and it fits under my rear seat.
