    I just picked the speedmaster airbag jack. It lifts a little bit higher than than the bush jack and is allot cheaper. Construction seems good and I did sucessfully lift my truck and travel trailer with it (driveway practice). I plan to keep some lashing straps to tie up the coilovers incase I need to lift under the sliders since it barely lifts high enough to get the tires off the ground at full droop.
    Id honestly prefer the high lift but it wont lift the camper with out damaging it.


    Awesome thread by the way!

    I'm glad this dude chocked the rear wheel. Nothing sucks more than a truck sliding backwards while your working on it. LOL.

    Randy - Make sure you practice on your driveway before any off road adventure. To make sure you know and understand the various levers and springs and other doodads on the HiLift, base and shackle adapter.

    Don't you have sliders? Consider getting a slider adapter as well.

    That was the plan! Don't want to learn how it all works while in the thick of things. I'll get a slider adapter as well. Gonna pick one up from Joe next time I see him.
