    Recently my wheels debeaded while on the road, I am wondering if there are any options besides the standard hi-lift jack. I have no rocksliders or any jackpoints beside the frame.

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    All kind of options it all depends just where and when you want to lift things.

    Two bottle Jacks and a few blocks of wood can lift pretty much anything .

    I have even carried a Floor jack at times.

    Where it gets to be a challenge is when the frame sits on the ground for what ever reason.

    Harbor Freight has a Badlands Off-Road floor jack with large wheels for unsmooth surfaces ... $300. Though actual availability may not agree with online and they may be hiding them in the stockroom instead of on the display floor. But all reports say they do sell them when you have the cash/credit.

    They sell adapters to allow the hi-lift to wrap around wheel spokes to lift. But the videos of how they can swing out of control on the down-path look terrifying.

    Skip the Hi Lift. Look at safe jack. Especially without sliders/bumpers.

    Agree with the folks above. Hi Lift is pointless without sliders and/or bumpers.

    If I were in the market I'd check out the new harbor freight offroad jack. It looks like a knockoff/imitation of the Pro Eagle off road jack (which is a great option if you don't mind spending more money) https://www.proeagle.com/collections/shop/products/3-ton-big-wheel-jack-kratos

    As mentioned above safe jack is also highly regarded and probably packs down into a truck much easier than the two I listed.
