Default Re: Hi Jack

I have a Hi-lift and it is useless on the Tundras w/o sliders, which I do not have, yet. I can lift the rear with the bumper close to center, but it is not the most stable, you have to chock the front wheels etc. I have a Sahara Bar and there is no place on it to use the Hi-Lift. I cannot tell if the adapter shown on one of the links is for the Sahara or not. The other problem with Hi-Lifts is they take up a lot of space. I bought an aftermarket bottle jack ( 3 Ton)and keep a piece of plywood handy for the inevitable.

I have not bought one yet, but check out exhaust jacks. They seem like a stable way to lift the vehicle, esp. in snow, mud and uneven terrain. The only problem is they are expensive and could be bulky to store.
