New Sliders with Hi-Lift points

[Dan06]

I found these pictures on this thread http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f6/new-forum-tlift-6124/index3.html

I'm feeling more and more comfortable about it. Think it'll be my primary jack while off road. What else do you need other than couple of wheel chocks and a collapsable stand.





I was getting pretty worried after reading the horror stories, but I did't find pictures of those. Heck anything could hurt ya, just gotta be careful.

For changing a tire, I'd suggest this:
Hi-Lift Jack LM-100 Lift-Mate : Amazon.com : Automotive


And unfortunately that Slee is a one of a kind prototype that I don't think ever got produced. I'd love to have one myself, but until they're made I run with one of these:
Powerbuilt 640912 All-In-One 3-Ton Bottle Jack with Jack Stand : Amazon.com : Automotive

"Got Down Off My Horse" that sucks. That's a million dollar idea... if they'd produce it. Maybe someone makes a similar collapsible one?

 

[BigJ]

Not that I've found.

You got me looking and just found the company where I got my chocks from has gone belly up. Sucks. They were good guys and made a kickass product. They too were looking into a collapsible jack stand last time I talked to them in 2010.

Oh crap... you should've never mentioned the chocks . Now I'm gonna have to sell my soul for all the off-road essentials no one makes anymore.

I have seen some folding jack stands. Nothing like the million dollar idea Slee had though.



I wonder if enough people requested them, if Slee would make a limited run of them.

Worthy of note for the hi-lift crowd

https://bmihydraulics.com/index.php...ategory_id=12&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=23 (on sale until feb if you use the code OVERLAND, you get 40 bucks off)

and this is pretty slick as well.

Wonder if the "Safe Jack Stabilizer for Hi-Lift" could be combined with the Slee jack stand to create something better than either product alone?

 

[MagicMtnDan]

I wonder if Slee didn't produce the jack stands due to product liability issues and insurance costs? Just speculation on my part but I can't think of another reason since I think they'd sell well enough to justify the costs.

 

[Dan06]

Well if some engineer that builds innovative products happens across this thread, I'm in the market for one.

So I've read in BigJ's posts that he's got a 60" and that it's necessary because of the long travel of the Raptor. But then in the pics that Dan06 posted in post #11, it appears that they are lifting the blue Raptor with a 48" and the wheels are off the ground.

Will the 48" jack work for most situations that we would find ourselves in?
