You mean you don't think the "arm breaker" aka "jaw crusher", aka "gonad kicker" Hi Lift is the best?


LOL!

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.

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...

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.

that said, I have a piece of plywood that works fine with my big jack instead of the price point of this harbor freight thing.

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.

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). I was glad I had a couple of 2x4's to put under the factory jack.

I ordered a MOPAR jack base the day I got home that day. It looks like it will work well.

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 store mine on it's side in the footwell.

I was glad I had a couple of 2x4's to put under the factory jack.
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.
