I give you the Hi-Lift shorty

[xcmountain80]

Well as many of you know a lift on a runner or pickup almost guarantee your stock jack wont work. Now I've tried a couple thing to keep the stocker working but it's just hard. I carry a 48" Jack on the roof rack bars in order to lift my truck in the event of a flat. Though to utilize it you must have sliders, which I do. But one day after some tree cutting and stump removal (which I use a hi-lift when the location does not permit a bobcat). The last one I broke a 48" a few times so much so that I ended up with 38". Hmm I thought what to do? So I cleaned it and painted it and mounted it to my roll bar. To limited the rear axle flex during lift you will have to strap it. I used some rubber pucks and a pre body lift bolt and a few other things to secure it.

Is that a first generation roll bar you are mounting the jack on?

Yes it is a 1st gen bar.

Hi, I'm new here. What's the strap on the axle for?

 

[xcmountain80]

The rear axle will look something like this when your trying to change a flat if you don't anchor it. The suspension will run it's cycle when you try and lift the rear. The front already has a limiting strap to keep the cv angle's happy when wheeling.

who hung the bird...?

The town home my wife and I moved into has a tiny (well small by my standards) garage. She has a shark that marks her stopping point and the bird marks mine when I back in.
