I DO!

Its pretty much a clone of a fire service low-preassure rescue air bag, but at a much better price.

A lot safer than a Hi-Lift, and much much easier.

I think I will buy one with the tax return in a month or so...

Looks nice, how high do they go though? High enough for the lifted runners

30", so if you put it under a slider or crossmember I'm sure most of us would do fine.

They don't make them any taller because they become too unstabe around 3'

You can always stack stuff under it though, it will conform to uneven shapes.

That is a trippy little tool! But you gotta remember that you are only relying on a one-way valve to keep the truck up. It's only meant for situations where you can't use a normal jack easily or don't have access to one right when you need it.

So yeah...I wouldn't mind having one. Who is buying?

You are, thanks!

I use them frequently in extrication/rescue situations. The key is to "crib" or support the load with a static device or structure if you intend to work on it.

It is most ideal for recovery pourposes.

P.S. I'm a moron and mispelled the thread title, oh well...

If you give me your address, I'll be glad to send you a card, I am serious too.

But since I have been so mean in the past, I am going to buy this time. Uh oh...ya, I think I just dropped my CC into the shredder...sorry. How about we just stick to the card this year

I'll stay with good bumpers and slider and my HI LIFT.....way more control for sketchy situations than start your truck and it inflates

good idea though

Hmmm... When you figure in ground clearance to the frame, and axle droop, I dunno that 30" is all that much. check this pic:



It looks like the bag is fully inflated but that wheel is barely off the ground enough to change it.


Hmmm....

could you use a hi lift then place this under the rear axle? It could help stabalize the hi lift
