I just got a 48" hi-Lift jack. Mounted it in the bed, has a padlock so no one desides to borrow it perminatly.

and some random pics of my truck...

 

nice i need to get one... im pretty sure with the Superlift, 35's and BL the stock jack wont doo lol..

 

Looks good Joe. You should come to the Albany, NY meet!

 

anyone got any pics on how to properly use a hi-lift? sorry for the thread jack

 

its not hard....just use the tow hooks or the rear bumper as a lift point. Since these trucks dont have side lift points thats all you can really use.

 

wow, guess im really gunna have to get some sliders now.. lol

 

i have the same jack and mounting kit although i mounted mine to my toolbox

 

Looks good, I need to pick one up too

 

How are you going to jack your truck up with that? I want one

 

Hitch is about the only place in the back, maybe where the front tow hooks are in the front with a block of wood. When we do the bumper(s) on my truck, we're adding blocks for the hi-lift to fit into.

 

Yeah I was thinking about it the other day when I was looking at it in northern tool and I don't have anywhere to jack it up in the front. I'll wait until I get a front hitch to get one. Or sliders

 

well its not only for jackin the truck. its also a winch, clamp, mini jaws of life. Its just a good all around tool to have when wheeling.

 

i like the set up. Nice truck too.

 

Another good way to use the jack (if you don't have a receiver or bumper adapter) is to wrap a strong tie-down (I think they make a special tool for this) through the holes in your wheel and lift if from there.

The padlock will keep the "honest" people out atleast. But just a quick second with bolt cutters.
You should go pick up some wire-loom to hide the wiring for the lights, and protect them from chafing against metal.

 

Sweet, i like your truck! especially the color.

 

i like the 4x4 sticker idea

 

Looks good.

When you start to use it, it will scratch the original paint a bit, and after 6 months there is rust along all the sliding parts. Even with a tonneau cover to protect mine, the condensation in the morning makes the highlift a rust bucket. Every month I soak the mechanics of it with white lithium grease to keep it working well.

 

Thanks guys... Yeah its already getting surface rust, i'll just have to keep it lubed up. Hopfully soon she will be getting the 4" superlift and 315/75/16 Pro Comp Xtreme A/Ts

 

Nice pickup.

 

They sell neoprene covers for it, that will prevent the rust.

 

Truck looks good. I still need to put up a high lift in my bed.... one of these days.

 

Did you use the bolts that came with it or self tapping metal screws?

 

drilled holes and used the supplied screws.

 

where are the pics of the sliders?

 

its dark out! I'll post em tomorrow.
