I'm in the process of doing my recovery mods and was wondering which hi-lift jack size I should get for a 2.5inch lifted 4runner?

Does is matter if I get all steel, all cast or, steel/cast?

What's a good place to get one? I was thinking something like this.. http://www.4by4connection.com/hija48sst1.html

and is there anything else i need to know when choosing one?
thanks.

 

thats the one i have it works great

 

do you have sliders? i see a highlift as pretty much useless with out something to put it under...

i think the shorter of the two, the 48" should be fine. especially if you dont do anything absolutely crazy...

 

id get the 60. i have a 48" and its OK for street/level use, but runs out of usable lift quick out on the trail..esp if the truck is up in the air and your only level ground is lower than the other 3 wheels...

 

Yep, without the right bumpers or sliders you are screwed with a high lift as a jack. It will work good as a cum-a-long so a 60" is the way to go, if you can use it. If not then use the money for a good cum-a long. Mike

 

I've had two High lifts 48 and 60 both where steel (red ones right?)- - there are some creative uses for em and you CAN use them with out special bumpers and sliders.

Gotta be careful and smart using it. I have also had them kick out on me.
