Let's see your Hi-Lift Jack!

in this picture i was maxing out my 48"




i'd like to have a 60" model but don't know how i would mount it... the 48" already stretches the length of the bed.

 

Spent a few like 10 bucks @ ACE to get it mounted. Think I want to put it on the side of the bed though.

 

yup sure is... the rock was hung on the frame of the truck as well and i couldnt even winch off it. so we had to jack the truck up and use another truck to pull the rock out from underneath the truck...

 

Why not jack up the truck by the wheels, fully compress the suspension and then add big rocks under the wheels? Save you a diffy...

 

Kevin, you have the perfect wheels for one of these... http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&q=hi+lift+jack+mate&cid=10417889576443102845&sa=image#p

 

Here's mine. Home made mounts.

 

Finally got mine mounted this weekend.

 

well first off the diff was already toast.. had smashed it all up before we even knew i was on a rock. secondly.. by the time it was smashed up i really wasn't wanting to put any pressure on it so moving the rock made the most sense. that allowed me to roll the truck back off the hill and do a fix.

 

What length is that? Looks shorter than the 48"

 

It is the 48"...but I do agree the picture makes it look smaller. Goes from the front of the bed to about the back of the wheel well...and on a 73.5" bed that makes sense.

FWIW, I don't think the X-Treme comes in less than 48".

 

Cool, I'm looking at picking one up in the next few weeks. I'm thinking mounting to the cab will be best bet for me. I haul often and the side may get in the way and possible scratch items tied down.

 

Just mounted my Hi Lift Jack this last wknd. Made my own mounts out of 1" square tubing and welded 1/2" nuts on the inside of tubing. Then bolted it to my ARB bumper. There was already tabs with holes in the top.

 

subbed for when I buy one and cant find this thread again

 

I'll play.
I will eventually move and mount it on a bed toolbox. Just cant find the right toolbox at the moment. I have no place for my recovery gear. Any suggestions for a good box?
Being a short bed dc., the wheel wells come all the way to the cab. The only tool boxes I can find are the ones that have the slant cuts at the bottom to accomodate the wheel wells. I dont like that look.

 

Crap. My bad. Didn't see this was a 2nd gen thread.

 

FYI

There is a group buy on a Hi-Lift bed mount.

I hate when miss a good group buy on something I need.

Holy thread bump! But, since we're here and this is a good thread:



Here's just the mount:

The 4xracs are each backed up with two aluminum strip backing plates.

More pics of the install in my gallery.

Here is my hi lift mounted to the roof top tent frame with the pull pal behind it.
And leveling out the truck so I can sleep.
