I was just reading a post where a member remarked about the stability he has when he puts the high lift in the end of the tube bumper and how glad he is he did not cap the ends.
It occurs to me at this point that I have never actually had to lift the CJ with the High lift. I have used the jack on the truck several times but it has bumpers on both ends.
How about some input on how you lift your CJ weather it be for getting unstuck or, heaven forbid, changing a flat tire.
The high lift tractor jack is, no doubt, the most unstable, poorly designed piece of junk I have ever used but they seem to be the weapon of choice for our chosen pass time, so lets hear how you deal with it and / or any interesting pages I need to read?
