Hi-Lift Jack (w/wheel attachment) on stock Toyota rims?

Does anyone know by first-hand experience if a Hi-Lift jack can be used on these OEM Toyota wheels with the LM-100 attachment? I'm skeptical, but I realize there's nowhere else on my truck that I can jack it up using a Hi-Lift jack. Talk to me fellow 'Yota'ers! :-)

Cory,

What are the hook dimensions?

The answer is no. I have those rims and the hooks won't fit in the wheel openings.

Spring for some rock sliders. They look way better than the running boards, are far more sturdy, and you'll have a jack point.

And you don't need a jack stand to actually get that tire changed.


I wouldn't feel safe lifting with something that fit in those small openings.

That's the only thing I needed to know. Thanks.

Thanks for the purchasing advice. NO, I don't want rock sliders though. Way cheaper to replace the wheels with slightly newer 15" Toyota OEM rims from Craigslist. And I just might do that. Perhaps the one's pictured below.

Just a quick follow-up to give this story a happy ending - I bought these slightly newer OEM Toyota wheels seen above for $50. Then I paid $112 to have them installed, balanced, etc. So $162 later I can use the Hi-Lift LM-100 attachment on my wheels. And once I clean-up the old wheels and perhaps sell them on Craigslist my total dollars paid will be even less. :-)

Sold the other rims on Craigslist for $50 and so recouped my money. It took a couple months but someone finally bought them.

So, $112 later I have rims that'll work with the LM-100 Lift Mate HiLift Jack attachment. All's good now. :-)
