I'm trying to decide between getting a Hi-Lift jack versus a bottle jack for off-road use. Mostly easy to moderate trails with some rocks along the way, no real rock crawling. Most of our off-roading is done solo (2-people +dogs). Occasional snowy trails in winter.
I've heard lots of horror stories about the Hi-Lift when used carelessly or users lacking experience. And since I have the Mopar front steel bumper (with winch) that would not be a suitable Hi-Lift jack point anyway (not sure how well the factory Rubi rails would do either). As such I'm leaning towards a heavy-duty bottle jack.
The bottle jack I'm looking at is a 6-ton Safe Jack ( https://safejacks.com/collections/b...ack-bottle-jack-recovery-kit-with-bottle-jack ).
So what say you? Hi-Lift or Safe Jack?
