    Since I'm installing a lift and larger tires, I guess I need a new method of jacking up the truck should I have a flat.

    I have seen a lot of people that have this jack (or similar) but how does it work? Does it jack up the bumper? Does it fit to the frame somewhere? Anyone got pics of it in use? Just seems a little tall and skinny, making it prone to being knocked over easily...

    it works best with sliders or a nice steel bumper simply crank it up but do not use it with the stock bumper although there is add-ons you can buy to lift it from your tire or your bumper its best used with sliders. theres a plate you can buy that works well with the hi-lift to keep it sturdy.

    Pardon my ignorance, but "sliders"? What is that?

    Oh, sliders! Yeah I've seen them around the forums.

    I don't intend to replace my bumpers and the pipe sliders looks just a little too "rock crawler" to me which isn't what I'm going for.

    How about a floor jack? I had one for my Chevy (6" lift) and it seemed to work, but I had a toolbox in the back to store it. Anyone ever seen these "mounted" anywhere in the bed?
