    Ok so I'm in the market for a Hi-Lift jack. Anyone in the San Jose area have a 48" hi-lift I could borrow for a few minutes? I just want to see if I can jack up the rear of my truck by the hitch and actaully get the rear wheels off the ground before I buy one.

    You're welcome to come by my house or I can come to yours. Either way, beer and mad rep provided. :D

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    I'm kinda far for you but I have a 48" if you want to make the drive.

    I kinda want/need a 60" and you have more travel then I do I think the 48" might be too small.

    Perfect. Much closer than Jerry's. :p
    You're not doing the snow run this weekend right? If you're around this weekend lemme know. I'm on call and can't be out of cell phone range.

    Came out this morning and found a oil leak in the driveway. Turns out the front diff right ouput shaft seal is leaking so after I replace that piece of shit I can run up there.

    I'll actually be going to SoCal this weekend. But I'm flying so you're more than welcome to pick it up anyway. I'm not going off roading anytime soon so I can get it back from you whenever

    You edited and added that last bit! I was kinda thinking the same thing which is why I'd like to make sure. I'd also like to do just think through some jack mount ideas and having one handy is much more convienent. A 6 pack is cheaper than an Amazon mistake.

    Yeah I'm good off the sliders but my rear bumper I can max it out and still only be like 1" or 2" off the ground and it kinda freaks me out maxing it out like that.

    Rep for everyone who offered and helped!!!

    Jerry you were right, no way the 48" would cut it. Getting the rear wheels 1" off the ground and the jack was at 50." :eek:
