Hi-Life Jacks

I was wondering if anyone has used these types of jacks for jacking up their vehicle. With 6 inches of lift and 35 inch tires the stock jack aint gonna cut it. So I want to have a hi-lift jack on hand in my tool box with the curved bumper attachment. If anyone used em let me know what you think and what size you have (48" or 60"). Do they collapse at all or is the 60" model 60" long? Seeing as that probably wouldn't fit in my tool box with my stepside bed. The 48" model should be adequate.

I have one in the 92 and it has been used quite a bit. That truck is sitting on 33s and when jacking from the rear bumper it almost maxes out a 48". So with your truck I would go for the 60". Have fun finding somewhere to put it.

keep in mind that jack can/will kill you. Esp if your not use to it. They dont collapse either.

Um, no. In 92 a bumper was a bumper, not just something to look pretty on the back of the truck.
