Let's see your Hi-Lift Jack!

I was going to purchase some type of mounting system for my hi-lift but then I thought it would work if I just put it in my truck box! Seems like it'll work perfect. Plus it's out of the elements and secure! Why don't more people just do this (if you have a truck box)?

 

I keep it in mine through the winter, but the box comes out for summer (need the bed space). So now im making some brackets to mount it in the bed.

 

hears mine, has not got in the way yet but it leaves some rust on the front bumper and rattles some

 

Nice. Where were those pictures taken?

 

This years Tera Del Sol Run in So Cal, Salton Sea area

 

This is my first High Lift. 60" with SGA 10,000lbs Anchor

 

Just went through this entire thread.

Great info. Ordering mine today from Amazon, can't beat tax free, and I have a prime membership so 2 day shipping on all my orders. I am a bit of an Amazon whore.

The mounting ideas are excellent, will be back with pics when done.

Search really does work here.

 

for those that use their hi-lift in mud/sand/snow, this is a great addition to your jack!

After reading through this whole thread I had to pull the trigger on one of these! I figured with my new bigger tires I am getting soon that factory jack was going to be pretty much worthless.

I got the 48" Xtreme with the winch kit also, for right around 150 shipped from Amazon.

Now I just need to get a box to store it in. Will post pics when it arrives.

 

what kind of bolts are you all using to lock into your bed rail?

 

Here is how I mounted mine:

There is a how to link in my sig for how I did ^that^. And then there is this:

I'm bumping this old thread instead of starting a new one. I have a stock 09 and wony be adding sliders or new bumpers anytime soon. I have a hi lift with the wheel attachment but was wondering if it would be easier or better to get the bumper attachment in order to be able to use my jack ? I don't know if the rear stock bumper will support being used as a jack point and I know the front won't, so best to use the wheels and a jack stand?

 

The factory bumpers will definitely not handle that kind of load. You can use the receiver hitch on the back as a lifting point as well, but it's kind of sketchy as the Jack likes to kick out to one side

 

Never thought of this. Great idea.

Great thread too. I just got the black hilift on Amazon and have been wondering where it will be going. I carry a lot of gear when out camping.

 

I just used some washers ground flat on two sides, some bolts and nuts, then some wingnuts to keep it tight. The cost was $6 from the hardware stare. Slid it all in the bed rail system.

 

Hate to resurrect such an old thread...but don't wanna start a new one. So are you guys saying the only way to use these is if you have sliders or aftermarket bumpers? I've been looking for a jack just so I can have something to get out of some mud, or change a tire since my truck didn't come with the bottle jack

 

Same, I didn't get a bottle jack with my truck and even if I did, it's lifted too high for one. I ordered a 60" Hi-Lift Jack and now I'm wondering where I can use it on the truck since I don't currently have any sliders...

I'm also trying to make a decision on where to mount it, who's hardware to use, etc

 

Went with Relentless. Will post pics when I get it all bolted up.
