Re: Highlift jack
Those are them.
They work well and are a good supplement to a power winch. We have used
them to pull rigs sideways and hold rigs while being pulled in the other
direction.
They also are a must in my mind if you have a power winch and run trails
where you actually might 'need' the winch to get through. Anything
electric can and will fail at the worst time.
