Re: How to jack up a Jeep with 33s
I can vouch for this. I lifted a small barn (well actually a shed) with a
high lift jack and it worked great. ;o)

Re: How to jack up a Jeep with 33s
That's true as far as it goes. However, it's also one of the most useful
tools you can carry with you off road. It can be used as a winch, a jack, a
clamp, a jaws of life, a tie rod straightener, a tire bead breaker... Just
don't use it as a jack in the garage when you're working on your vehicle.
Use a floor jack and jack stands.

Re: How to jack up a Jeep with 33s
Hi TJim,
I agree with you totally... a must for trail rides. Just last Saturday a
member sheared off a valve stem. We used the hi-lift jack to break the tire
down and install another stem. Hi-lift... marvelous invention, but can be
dangerous if used improperly.
