Enthusiast III
I was hoping to get a little feedback from the experienced members of the community. I currently carry a Hi-lift and a hand full of accessories to optimize the versatility. I've completely ditched the scissor jack that comes stock. I also carry a 3 ton jack-stand for repairs and spare tire swaps. If i get a flat, I use the lift-mate to lift directly from the wheel, place the jack-stand and remove the Hi-lift. Its fairly efficient, but I have yet to find a good jack-stand with an integrated base for off road use. My issue is that the jack-stand sinks on gravel or dirt roads. I've been carrying a few 16" lengths of 2x4. Id like to streamline this whole system if possible. The considerations are: The wheels are the only jack points for the hi-lift. A bottle jack would be an OK replacement for the stand if i could obtain a jack and extensions for a good price. I need the hi-lift regardless of what other jack I buy because i use it for winching.
Is anyone else using a similar setup? Its heavy and bulky but so far its working. What else is available without breaking the bank?
