that's pretty much what I use. I know of several jeep/rover guys that use hi-lifts to work on their vehicles to. They are those portable lifts you use on the trail to help get you out of a tight spot.

There is a lot of weight difference from Jeeps to full size pick-ups. And yet, we depend on that same Hi-Lift jack to do the same job on almost twice the weight?

Way to bring up a dead thread...

and yes you can depend on the same hi-lift jack.

The same jack can be used on diesels as well.

Im really not sure what you are asking or if you are just being stupid.
