    so anyway, im not afraid of my highlift, just dont crawl under the truck lol

    one thing i say is to chock the tires. if you lift the rear and the fronts arent chocked there is nothing to stop the truck from moving sideways or front to back.

    shit does happen though and even with wheels chocked they can move, a hilift can bend, etc etc. now i see alot of people suggest a floor jack great on level ground but its been said before but a floor jack wont cut it on a trail when your stuck. think a hilift is sketchy? use a floor jack balanced on rocks to jack a truck

    skilled people can be, and often are douche bags too...... mature


    you can get CO2 jacks as well. super fast, and since they're tied into the frame, you don't have to worry about toppling

    i was going to take the marine route myself and use 4 of these welded to the frame :D
