thank you!

would also add to this. carry a sorry lengthy odd chassis with a hook on one end. chain your axles to the frame so you do not need to lift it that high as the axles will only lower as far as the chain will allow. it will make changing a tire or most things where you might need to use this devise much safer. the higher you have to lift the more unstable things become
-
LOL You use the easiest vehicle possible to jack up, a perfectly straight edge that's easy to get under.
-
Are you suppose to keep the door open so if something does happen, you don't destroy the door or panel? I've seen a few images of people leaving their door shut and the lift slips and crushes the door. Least with the door open it won't destroy your door or panel..

It would also help NOT to weigh a buck 45 like a chick.
-
could you use a second one on the other side to fully jack the vehicle up?
-
thank you. had my 69 cutlass on the oem hi Jack and had no idea how to put it down lol
-
If your vehicle has a lot of suspension droop, use a strap or chain around the axle before you lift... then you don't have to lift as high.

They are very useful, but oh so dangerous! They are so unstable they shot this video in a parking lot so when it killed one of them they could sue the landowners for lots of money. Use a hi-lift when you have no other options and you no longer care about your vehicle and just want to go home Kamper killers opinion NOT A PAID ENDORSEMENT

only pussies use jacks! be a man and lift that shyt car up

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you're on a trail, chock the wheels first to help prevent the vehicle from rolling, just in case your e-brake slips. This is especially important if the vehicle is on an incline or decline. A pair of heavy-duty wheel chocks is only about $20 on Amazon (or use a log in a pinch).

Personally, I found this very informative. Thanks a lot for taking the time to publish this. And don't listen to the posers, you done good.

Always push down on the handle and keep your body clear. Dont ever pull down on the handle!

I was testing out my hi lift jack without a vehicle under it. with it raised up some, I switched the pin to the lowering position, and it just Slammed down. Is it normal for it to do that when there's no load under neath it?

keep your jack lubed

You definitely want to keep the door open where the hi-lift is, if it slips then you'll either have a mangled door or a mangled seat
