High Lift Jack Points: Bad and Good

Published July 21, 2014 By Mick Farmer

Modifications Which Affect Off-Road Capability

Use The Right Hi-Lift Accessories

Hi-Lift makes loads of adaptors to suit different vehicles. Why not just get the right thing instead of guessing if the guy who does the mod uses the right thickness and grade of metal and /or knows how to weld?

1. Hi-Lift Mate:  Use it to lift directly from the wheel.

2. Hi-Lift Bumper Lift: Use it to bi-pass the curved bumper problem.
