with the great respect that the HiLift jack has in the 4x4 world, I'd like to know if anyone has succesully used one on the 98-02's. The front bumper is just not strong enough. I wonder if some sort of custom grille guard might work. anyone here use a HiLift jack?

 

I have a 48&quot; in the bed of the truck, but it is on its way out and will be pelaced by a 60&quot;<br><br>I have the Mopar tow hooks up front, and they work as a decent place to lift from, but only if doing one tire.

 

I wouldn't lift from the Mopar tow hooks. I tried it and bent the hook slightly before the tire lifted off the ground. and those hooks I think are brittle so you dont' want to risk breaking one. <br><br>I've got the 60&quot; HiLift. but seriously, there's no place to hook it to! do you have the little bumper hook attachment? <br><br>I still think the best choice is either a custom bumper guard or (unrelated to that) some custom work to attach something to the frame.

 

I'm planning on getting a 60&quot; HiLift as soon as I get my DOR bumper, Layne says you can lift the whole front end from a D-hook attached to it.<br>The little bottle jack the truck came with doesn't quite cut it with my new tires, perish the thought I ever get a flat on the road now.<br><br>But, how 'bout this for an idea:<br><br>Loop a heavy duty tow strap around the axle, then use that to attach the HiLift, and lift from there?<br>It would be resting against the bumper, but not using it to lift.<br><br><br>phox
