    Is there a youtube tutorial or something?

    Because a few years ago when my friend busted his out, I couldn't for the life of me figure it out.

    Throw your spare tire under the frame interim and if you have two spares you can stack them underneath the sliders as a stand so you can work on the truck, a nice trick from Jandrews.

    Hi-lifts are also nice for other things. Pulling posts out of the ground or rebar etc... (wrap a chain around it and then hook to the jack and lift it out). Winching, clamping, spreading too.


    BTW, just tried the moly dry lube on some shit. AWESOME. I had a sticking tail gate on the work truck, GONE. I had a key made today and it wasn't going into the door on my apt very well. Sprayed lube on the key, it dries and it STICKS, also made the key work easier. Also sprayed it all over my hi-lift but haven't gotten a chance to try that out as it's all locked up on the bed rail. I think it'll be smooth now though.
