YEARS ago (about 20) I won a Hi-Lift at a drawing of an opening of a 4x4 shop. I took it home and put in a corner in the garage in hopes it would not spring to life and break an arm. Then about 7 mo ago I bought a used Jeep that had a Hi-Lift mount on the right rear, I traded that Jeep in when my 2023 Rubicon came in and put that damn Hi-Lift on the back and hope the who buys they Jeep does ot hunt me down and try to return it...Definitely a must not have. How are you going to secure it so it's not a death missile? 72 pounds? For the rare occasions you get a flat, use a good bottle jack like my double ram or a good Scissor Jack like mine. I carry both. They fit in the rear footwell under the seat. I've used both several times in the last year, once for me, twice for folks in my group. I drive the scissor jack with my cordless impact driver.
I definitely wouldn't buy this to take out on the trail, but as someone with a gravel driveway with a pretty deep fill, this would definitely come in handy on the f150 and jeep. Since they don't fit great in the garage and doing a quick tire rotation or brake job or something simple this would be great. My big 3ton sucks on gravel.Definitely a must not have.

I have a couple of questions about the "Double Ram" jack. First does the top screw out like most bottle jacks and how does it do with leaking? I would have to store it on the side.Definitely a must not have. How are you going to secure it so it's not a death missile? 72 pounds?

No, it doesn't have a screw jack, but the full double ram doubles the lift height. It's a very high quality Jack and no reports of leaking in reviews at Amazon.

I got a flat the other day and had my "Safe Jack" with me but it only has a little over a 5 inch throw and wouldn't lift the tire off the ground (37's).
The double ram jack it a couple inches too tall to fit under your axle when you have a flat, but I carry Camco Stabilizer Jack Pads and drive over them with the flat so the jack fits under the axle.I was glad I had a couple of 2x4's to put under the factory jack.
Yeah, the Pro Eagle mounts are over $260 on Q-tech.For off-road tire changes, you’re better off buying the Mopar Jack Base and using your scissor Jack.

I can’t imagine trying to find a way to safely carry this Harbor Freight contraption in a vehicle.
I think that is just for the extension to an existing jack. The site says "jack not included"Just Harbor Freight going after someone who already has that idea:

However 911 does offer something to attach it to your Jeep.
