I need some help deciding what Hi-Lift Jack would be best suited for my
needs. I am getting ready for a safe and offroad involved hunting season, as
well as being prepared for winter. Basically, I want to carry a Hi-Lift with
me at all times. I love the fact that it can be used for a jack or a winch,
and also how durable it is along with the high respect it has within the
4WD/Offroad community. First off, what height should I look for and also what
should I look for as far a jack construction is concerned(metal-wise)???
Height options and metal construction options are as follows: 36" CAST/ STEEL
Jack, 42" CAST Jack, 42" CAST/ STEEL Jack, 48" CAST Jack, 48" CAST/ STEEL
Jack, 60" CAST Jack, 60" CAST/ STEEL Jack. Would a Cast/Steel Jack be more
heavy duty/strong than the all Cast Jack???? Hi-Lift says this about the 2
types "Our Casting Jack is manufactured from high yield and tensile strength
grades of ductile castings.Specifications for the Casting and Steel Jack are
exactly the same as the all Cast Jack. The difference between the two is that
the Casting and Steel Jack contains some stamped high strength steel parts."
Any input would be greatly appreciated!! Here is a great site for some
4wheelin uses and info on the Hi-Lift Jack: http://www.4x4now.com/bb0997.htm
