Hi-Lift Jack!

[Wolvee]

This little guy showed up today! Now, if I only had time to play with it. Things might settle down in a couple weeks and I'll get to take it out.

I honestly didn't know if I should get the 48" or the 60" but I figured being a full size truck, the 60's would probably be better. The thing sure is A LOT BIGGER than I thought it would be. It's a beast.

Holy crap. Are you planning on using your door handles as a lifting point???

I got a new Hi Lift too. I need to get the Lift mate, that hooks on the mag wheel to lift, and a Hi Lift jack base.

I've been looking at the X-treme. What caused you to purchase it over the traditional hi-lift?

For me it was the extra clamp/winch attachment. I bought the ORK also for real hand winching, but the clamp feature really stood out to me. Not sure *exactly* where it would come in handy, but I could see it happening.

That and the extra coatings. I have a habit of abusing and not maintaining my stuff.

Just remember folks. These things are meant for lifting, not holding. Carry jackstands if you plan to crawl under there!

Thanks for the info. I saw the video about the new attachments as well for winching. Plus I like the fact that it's coated. I too, have a hard time maintaining my gear.

I did not know which to get but I have needed a mechanical winch or something heavier than a come along for yanking down fallen trees and different things. The x-treme is the supposed best so that's why I chose it. My truck will probably be one of the last things I need to use it for but when I do need it, it'll be there.

Ah-ha. Then you will want the ORK kit. Faster winching. Without it every time you make the length of the bar you gotta rebuild your setup.

The 5 foot bar makes sense now. These things also pull fence line quick too.

Funny you said fence line, that's my first use for it. I have 600 feet to pull around our property.
