I have about 7" of lift with 35's. got rigid rock rails and bumpers so I have plenty of places to jack from. I was thinking 48" would be fine, but can't find any threads about hi-lift size. what do you you think?
I think a 60" would do you better although you'll probably have to order one. All of the Tractor Supply stores I've been to only carry 48" farm jacks and 48" hi-lifts....I have a 48" hi lift. It would be perfect if I had rock rails (lower point to lift from) but just using the bumpers alone doesn't do anything for me. I'm at 7" and 32's with drop brackets and 8" shocks and it just flexes and doesn't lift up a tire off of the ground, at least in the front...haven't really tried using the rear bumper yet.
I have the 60'' jack for mine, i have the 6.5 lift on my heep.. You are in CA right?. Cause if you are go to tera del sol and pick one up..Good prices.. I think i paid 50 bucks for my hi-lift
I'm at 6.5" of lift and 33" tires, my Hi-lift is a 60" and on flat pavement I'm up the jack 3/4 of the way to get my front tire off the ground lifting at the bumper. On the trail I might need a block under it to get the tire off, idk haven't had the need to lift it on the trail yet.
Yeah, 48" is a NO GO.. i have 6.5" of lift on 35's and i absolutely max out my jack.. as a matter of fact the jack went side ways and my jeep just fell back down to the ground which was about 6" off the ground..
My 60" wont lift my front end off the ground (7.5" and 35s) unless its on perfectally level ground or the sway bars are on.
The 60 is a pain to carry around, but its pritty much a must have.
I know Hi-Lift sells a "bumper lift" chain and hook accessory. Although that would even lower the height we could get our rigs to lift to, I wonder if something could be made to hook up to one of the strap-down points/holes in the unibody rail beneath the doors?
Obviously if you had rock rails you wouldn't need to do this as you could lift off of them but for those of us without rock rails....
i think the op said he had rock rails and bumpers to use as lift points, but think what if your stuck at that certain angle and your small 48" wouldnt suffice, bigger is always better. its better to have that extra length for those just in case situations.. my 2 cents
