    Seems a Hi Lift Jack is in my future. I see a 48" (looks like the one), but I also see a 60". Any reason for the 60" for the Taco? Best place to buy?

    I have a 60". Got the longer one so it would reach the edge of the Fourwheel camper on my old Scout. Figured if I needed to make an adjustment, or re-seal it (it sat on the bedsides, unlike my current one), it would be long enough without blocking. Also wanted the longer pull when using it as a winch. Worked well when I got stuck in a snow bank by myself in the middle of the night. Fits in the 5' bed too.

    Downside is mounting it vertically. Not a problem with a tall camper, but would stick up too high with a normal height vehicle.

    Since you have a winch, and a normal height camper shell, the 48" extreme is what I would get. It has a clamp thing on the top. Not sure what it would used for, but options are always good. Maybe cracking coconuts? ;)

    That chain thing is cool too for side pulls.

    bigger is always better, if you can fit it!!! I have a 48" but I only went with that because it fits mounted to the front of my bed.

    After seeing Ferny's highlift slide out from under the truck even with a red base last weekend I'm Gonna look into having someone make me a base with some type of nubs on the bottom for a little more grip in the snow.
