Hi Doug,
I've seen them bow at least six inches out, that's Hell of a lot of
energy stored in that "stick".

Mike...do you have a hilft in ur Jeep?? I'm jus curious...
and yes they are dangerous, John Cranfield is a dear friend of mine with
whom I wheel often...but I'll be damned if I'm gonna leave the Jeep miles
into a trail cause I can't get myself off a high centered rock, when with a
hilift I'd be on my way in no time...I just can't afford new Jeep, skids,
lift, tires, WINCH all in one year...
Merry Xmas!!!

Re: Hilift jack questions -- don't flame me, yes it's dangerous
No I don't carry a high lift or the original Jack All. I have been
around them all my life though.
I carry a small hydraulic floor jack that tucks in behind the passenger
seat solid and a hand cable winch or Come-A-Long. The floor jack is
quite good at getting a tire up so I can stuff a rock or tree under it
if the winch can't reach anything.
I also have a Warn HS9000i on the front.
Both times I had to walk out, a bigger jack wouldn't have helped....
The Warn would have worked on one though but I didn't have it then....
