Hi-Lift X-TREME Jack

[dunesdude]

Im going to get a hi-lift X-Treme Jack next week and would like to know which size to get the 48" or the 60" and where is everybody mounting them?

I did the 48 mounted on my rack...

Been thinking about getting one of these.

I remember when cars used to come with jacks that looked like that only smaller. I asume you jack your truck up by the bumper with that, is it safe though?

I have an adapter that you hook to the wheel you want to lift. Lift it . Block it. change wheel. lift. pull block. lower.

So with that jack do you lift, at the tow hooks? I saw in their brochure they have strap with hooks that may work.

You can use straps or right at the hooks. Obviously it's a little safer with straps, no chance of it slipping off.

so the 48" is enough to lift the raptor? i dont need to go with the 60" one?

Thanks

It should be plenty tall enough. A shovel and axe are a good idea to go along with the hi-lift. Also a good chain or cable as you can use it like a winch if the situation requires!
