    Where you gonna put a hilift on that? Use a block of wood and lift from the rear axle and lower control arm. Or just buy a floor jack.

    And you have to have hilift capable lifting points (sliders, steel bumper, etc.). Unless you buy the tire attachment strap but then that defeats the purpose if you need to change a spare. Step bars don’t work since it’s not attached to the frame and you’ll just end up ripping that off your body.

    Take jack out and test it. Have have similar setup and i can raise truck enough to remove tire but if im on uneven ground probably will need something a bit longer. Like someone suggested may be fine with a small 2x6 piece to give u that extra 2 inches u always wished u had

    It should still work. That Jack extends pretty high.

    If not invest in safejack

    Hi lift is dangerous and if you don't have sliders or bar work it's not going to help you
