Hi-Lift Jack Mount advice

[BDinTX]

Yep. I use it every 3000 miles to rotate my tires in the driveway and once on the trail to replace a tire I cut the sidewall on.

For those talking about other jack options: what other options are there that would work with a higher base of my jeep? The reason I got a hi-lift is because I tried a regular jack that looks like a diamond while it lifts and I had to find so many boards and or bricks to put inverter it for it to reach the underside of my jeep.

I know my ignorance is showing here, if it hasn't already, but I'm ok with that.

I bought the Safe Jack because at the time there really werent any other companies making something similar but I believe there are few other legit companies out there making similar kits. Be sure to get the base plate on its own or carry something that spreads the load of the jack it makes it way more stable on soft ground.

Lifting from the axle tube is your friend, stop having to lift through the suspension travel.

You can use a Hilift Jack mount base for your factory scissor jack.

you can buy the Mopar Jack base designed specifically for your factory scissor jack

you can buy just the 48 inch bar for your existing jack assuming you have a 60” hilift and use the dominion mount

You can use a 48 inch Hilift on a lifted jeep using an axle limiting strap so you’re not fully flexing the suspension before the wheel even begins to lift. i have a 60” Hilift in the garage. It can get sketchy on a flat concrete surface. I would never use it even on the sloping dirt shoulder of a road if I had to lift a vehicle that high

Anyway. Just because you have that jack doesnt make it a wise choice, But adult decisions and unplanned dental work are a real possibility.

@Terrymo Good options.

I"ve used HiLift to jack up and then drive off the jack to get off a large boulder, regular scissor or bottle jack not so much and the scissor jack would probably be a useless twisted piece of metal afterwards.

Not saying it’s useless. Just dangerous. And like buying a handgun and putting it in your nightstand but never being trained or practicing with it, you’re just kidding yourself if you think things will go well in a sketchy situation.

I'm trying to find the best tailgate Hi-Lift jack mount that is compatible with my 2025 Wrangler JL Willys. This is what the back looks like. I have Rubicon style wheels and tires (I think the tires are 33). I know they are bigger than the stock tires. I just need to know which one would fit this set up. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Tits on a bull... useless. You ever use a Hi-Lift in a real world recovery situation with your Jeep? There are so many other options that are SAFER than those pos. Seriously save your time and money and toss that jack and get a bottle jack or even the factory scissor jack is safer.

I recommend a HiLift Rollbar Mount and an Accessory Mount for additional miscellaneous long items. HiLift stays clean...

I have that mount and it’s great. You can mount a great many things you don’t mind less than honest folks knowing about that are only secured by two wing nuts. Not my business just my opinion which nobody asked for.

Agreed, though even with your nose on the glass from the outside, you still can't see what is mounted above the HiLift...

Do you just drive around daily with that in there? Not being a smart ass, legit question.

No, that only travels when adventuring deep in the mountains.

Do you have a link or brand/model for that mount?
