ARB Jack to replace Hi-Lift?

[BigSouth]

 

[BigSouth]

Just don’t look up the price...

 

[frankenyoter]

No doubt an innovative solution to a problem.

 

[LT1JEEP]

Over $800.00 with taxes and the base over $50.00 with taxes. Nice but not that nice..... I will stick with my high lift jacks.

 

[rockcity]

Radflo has one similar that’s been around for years which looks much more simplistic and is half the price.

 

[89wrangler]

Only $800. Looks like I will still take my chances with my red jack.

I have seen several of the arb Jacks on ebay for dirt cheap,

Broken....

Does it come with a Land Rover adapter?

I dont think they come with them, but they are available separately.....

I think about the amount of times I used my high lift for shit it wasn't intended to. How many times I dropped it on the ground. How much money it was.

And after seeing this, I'll keep my high lift...

 

[RatLabGuy]

Maybe I missed it.. .b/c I didn't want to sit through that whole video... can this go backwards as well? E.g. slowly shorten?
I've used a hi-lift as a come-along kind of thing as many times as a lift.

I saw a review on youtube where the guy was saying it can take for-ever to lower back down without the weight of a vehicle on it, even jumping up and down on it, especially in colder temps. Not like the hi-lift where you just smack the little uppy-downy dohicky and it hits the deck in the millisecond.

lightweight floor jack with a skid is a much cheaper and better solution, IMO. Or a bottle jack with axle cradle.

Hi lift and that both useless for modern linked Jeeps. Waste of space in my opinoun, better off with a bottle or GM scissor

FOA makes one also....

Love it.

I think @mcutler went to a camper style scissor jack a while back.

I just carry a strap and tie the suspension down before I start jacking.

 

[rockcity]

Yeah. A strap or chain from frame to axle will keep the suspension from flexing while jacking, if needed.


And with the ARB jack, how are you going to use it as a tie rod when yours breaks at 1am on a wild night ride?

I have one of these, but mine takes *considerable* force to collapse once I'm done with it. Is yours like that?

i took the advice of some on here a while back and picked up a couple camper scissor jacks. Maybe i am missing something but they ate a royal PITA to lift anything that has any weight to it. I stopped attempting to use them and stick with my good ole bottle jack.

Electric impact, they lift great.

First one was cheap and failed first use. Threads couldn't handle impact gun. Buy good ones.

I collapse it with the weight of the vehicle still on. I don't have issues with it that way.
