Ordered the 42" for my Can-Am x3. Had to remove the winch loop from the top to fit my mounting spot but otherwise, it's a perfect fit. Jack came in perfect shape, no scratches or bent parts. Make sure you lube it up before you take it out on the trails!

This jack is built to handle any of your jacking needs. Heavy duty and heavy too. Not meant for the the meek. This thing will pull a weathered metal t-post out of the ground like it wasn’t there. Switching from up to down can be tricky if you’re alone, but it’s that way too handle things. Great jack.

I purchased the Hi-Lift for self-rescue when off-roading in my Jeep JKU. The 42" version of the Hi-Lift came wrapped but not boxed and was complete with no missing or broken parts.It operated correctly and was exactly as described.It was easy to lift one corner of the Jeep JKU.After inspecting my Jeep Wrangler JKU, I did discover there are NO reachable lift points on the stock front or rear stock bumpers nor along the stock sides that the Hi-Lift could reach with its short 4.5-inch mouth. The Hi-Lift jack lift surface is only 4.5" long, so it requires steel after-market bumpers. In order to use it with a stock Jeep, the accessory LM-100 Lift-Mate is required, which provides hooks to attach to the wheel to lift the wheel directly.We were concerned that the portion of the jack head that is against the tire might pop the bead of the tire and we saw the tire deflect quite a bit but it did not. Still before using we would probably over-inflate the tire to reduce the risk of popping the bead.

Arrived quickly and is the quality I'd expect from Hi-Lift, works well on the hinge mount on our Jeep Wrangle JK. The only complaint I have is to do with the position of the mount and jack, on the hinge mount you have to open it enough to get the tailgate glass but if you open it too far it can crush the tail light. Found that out the hard way, not a problem with the jack, just some information for anyone thinking to hinge mount the jack.

I used this to jack up girders on my footbridge to install falseworks under it so as to enable restoration. I do have a porta-power here, but it has a limited travel range, and I needed about 7 1/2 feet to get under the girder .. 2x12 Doug fir x 20'. If you take off the pulling adapter at the top, you will be able to slip a length of 2" EMT over the stem of the jack .. in my case, 5 feet was about perfect. I ground a 2" deep trapazoid out of the upper end to nicely grip the bottom of the 2x12. This adaptation worked so splendidly well, I thought I should share my falseworks installation solution, as yet another use for this equipment. I had bought one from HF maybe 25 years ago and as I recall, couldn't get it to work. This puppy works like a charm. I do wish that the direction lever was easier to operate, but that's just the nature of the beast I guess. The base did find it's purchase in the creekbed easily enough, and the lifting went quite smoothly. 2" schedule 40 may work, but the EMT is considerally cheaper, and I didn't need that degree of strength (compression). Take your jack to the building supply and try before you buy (the EMT or pipe). If the pipe is even slightly bent you won't get a slip fit. Cheers!

I got this jack primarily/initially to remove a large stump from my yard, the stump weighs I'd say 200-250 pounds and I was having trouble moving it around. While probably not its intended purpose this jack was just the right tool for the job.I could prop the base of the jack against the side of the hole I was digging and place the jack point against the stump and tip it so I could cut the roots underneath. I also attached the jack to the stump and another tree with straps and used the jack like a hand winch or come-along. This was also effective but is very slow going, since even though the jack is 60" long you can really only move an object a little more than half that, the rest of the distance is taken up tensioning the straps. The jack is rated to apply 7000 pounds of pressure and so had no problem moving the stump around.Given the size of my job I got the 60" and I have to say it is pretty heavy and somewhat difficult for one person to manage. I am 6' 225# and sometimes had trouble getting it into position and stable while trying to move the handle, a second person is definitely helpful and sometimes necessary. If your vehicle or jobs don't require a 60" jack you might consider a smaller version.You have to be careful using it because the jack has a relatively narrow base and the jack point is also narrow. You can apply a lot of pressure and if either point is not stable it can shift while under load which can definitely be dangerous. The load can shift or fall, the jack can be flung in an unexpected direction, or the handle can swing violently. This is true of removing stumps or jacking up vehicles or anything else. If you are new to this kind of jack like I was I suggest you watch a few videos about safety and what can go wrong. For example a common mistake is to pick up 2 wheels of a vehicle and have it tip over. You need to keep your face and head out of the path of the handle at all times. It is easy to pinch your fingers in the mechanism and when not under load the carrier can fall abruptly.Overall I consider this a multi-tool useful not only for stumps and cars but lifting or moving anything heavy, winching, or clamping, which I think is a great value for the price.

Solide et robuste il est idéal pour mon jeep d'origine (x) ,pour ceux qui chaussent du 35 voir le 48 pouces, car le 42 est fait pour les véhicules stocks .

As other reviewers have stated, this unit is a serious piece of equipment. It is very heavy duty and able to hoist very heavy objects. I used it to reposition the ramp on my boat dock. I needed a jack with extended length lifting. This jack is actually an over kill for my application however because of its extra lifting capacity I am sure I will find additional uses for it. This jack works in both directions making it useful for pulling as well as lifting. The company offers accessories for this jack enhancing its versatility. It can be used much like a come along or hand winch. Other versions of this very jack are used to pry open accident vehicles for passenger extrication. Emergency personnel use this jack. It also has field repair kits to overhaul the lifting and pulling mechanism. The jack is so heavy duty it’s hard to believe that it could ever break. The handle is all metal. There are no plastic parts on this jack. The finished surface on this jack appears to be powder coated and very durable. Only time will tell how durable the finish actually is. Yes believe it or not, it is still possible to buy an all-metal extra heavy-duty piece of equipment these days at a reasonable price.
