Hi-Lift Jack (Pros and Cons)

[Malcolm]

Hey everyone,

Wanted to hear from y’all who own hi-lifts what you view are the pros and cons of this age old product. It’s been around for so long and I am actively looking for a solution for offroad recovery/jacking if need be (hopefully never).

Thank you!

You definitely need to pay attention to what you're doing but with any recovery you need to anyhow.

I’ve used mine many times because I’m an idiot and put myself in bad positions. I don’t think I could ever hit a trail without bringing it. That said, they are dangerous for you and even your truck too depending on how bad you fuck up.

For anybody looking to make their Hi-Lifts more manageable, light, and easier to store. All German Motorsports makes an amazing upgrade kit for them. Cuts the weight by OVER half while maintaining the same strength.

I went ahead and picked one up! just gotta mount it onto my C4 High clearance rear. Should be pretty easy to do.
