D-Lift Adaptor

Now that makes all the difference. I didn't realize that's how they were made, I assumed cast or welded together then ground down.

 

You can loop a peice of nylon webbing around the hi-lift foot and through the wheel spokes, secure it in a loop. Hi-lift will not / should not injure someone if it slips out. That's what you gotta worry about, foot slippage.

 

Point taken. Actually in the static load testing, the test jack broke before the DLA. I guess they decided they didn't want to be the weak link. ;-)

 

Minor pet peeve: A bow shackle and a D-shackle are two different pieces of hardware.

Many people incorrectly identify a bow shackle as a D. The instructions don't show the specific shackle being used in the pics. Point being: Does one truly need a D shackle for this device, or did the company/manufacturer incorrectly name the device, and a bow shackle will work too?

Not important enough to me to chase down with the company, but for someone thinking of buying it, it would be worth asking.

 

I prefer the term, screw pin anchor shackle.

 

You know you can still use your bottle jack on your LCA???? The jack point is right before the Lower ball joint. The attachment to jack at the tire is good too. Sliders are nice to flexing the taco with my Hi lift

 

Not sure if you're still looking at it, but...

 

Are the founder of this? You do sound like you have quite a bit of knowledge about it.
