Is an Aluminess rear bumper strong enough to resist bending when using a High Lift Jack? ARB mentions dual HL Jacking points,does Aluminess have this feature?


If you have a bumper please show some pictures as well as your experience with it.
Thanks.

We do not build hi-lift points into our bumpers because jacking from the bumpers is very unsafe with a hi-lift. We have seen jacks launch 40 feet from vehicles due to the jack slipping out from under the vehicle. It is best to jack from the wheel where you are not fighting against the suspension.

I prefer to use the wheel,but sometimes there is not enough room to use a jack on the side of the vehicle.

Our standard bumper is not set up to be used as a jacking point, but we can do some custom work to it in order to put jacking points in it if you would like.
