Re: Hi-Lift Jack Thread
Hi Mike,
That was a well earned respect, we learned. And as I said earlier,
I was scared sh*tless to go any higher with my T-Bird's jack and that's
with a floor jack stabilizing the side out of view:
http://www.----------.com/realTBird.jpg It doesn't look like it because
of the camera angle, but the tire is over a foot off the ground, the
only clean spot we can see.

Like everyone else said, the hilift shouldn't be used to change tires. That
isn't its intedend use. I have 33's and a 4" lift and I'm fairly certain my
stock bottle jack will still assist me in changing a tire.

Thanx for the input, guess I'll dig around the garage. I'm sure I have an old
scissor & a couple good size bottle jacks out there.
