All a man really needs for happiness in this world is a good woman, a faithful dog, and a big-a$$ed set of tires on his truck.

If you've got sliders installed, you can use those. I know the welded versions hold quite well and I've jacked my 01' up from the welded version I got from Richard Stubbs. Since I have rounded tubing sliders, I was able to pick up a slider adapter from a guy on Pirate4x4 that was making them before he quit doing it. It's nothing more than a piece of square tubing with a 1/2 round-tube welded onto it that bolts up to the hi-lift directly. For round-tubing, it works very well. If you don't have sliders, I've seen some strap attachments that lift from the wheel directly, but I don't get warm fuzzies from that one. I know they make an ARB bumper attachment that the hi-lift can mate to.

Yeah, I don't know that I'd use that bumper attachment on a stock bumper. I haven't come across any other attachments (yet) that work very well on a stock bumper. I only picked up a hi-lift after I got my sliders installed, otherwise I wasn't that jacked (no pun intended) about using it anywhere else on the truck. I've got stock bumpers also.

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.
I've used the tow hitch to hi-lift my rear end out of some deep sand stucks. I suggest taking off the tailgate first so you have some room to work.
now that i'm going with a 4-link, the hi-lift will be useless, so it'll be for sale soon.
So if a Hi Jack is out of the question, and the facory jack is too short, what are folks using for emergency tire changes when their trucks have been lifted?

The 3 ton I use under the rear axle or lower control arm works very well. It is a little taller than the OEM. Our tires are very similar in size so it should work as well on yours as it does on mine. Use the OEM with blocks to achieve the amount of lift you need, measure and find a good bottle jack to replace the OEM, or just carry some blocks and keep the OEM.
