Chuck, the Hi-Lift is slow but versatile with the right accessories. My Dodge has 35" tires and a mild lift (from the factory) and I would need a really big floor jack to get that puppy very far off the ground. With the Hi-Lift, I can lift from the rear using the receiver hitch or the bumper (with bumper hooks), from the front using the light bar, and from either side using the nerf steps (would probably bend, but cheap to replace), or from any wheel with the wheel hooks. The Hi-Lift is better for getting unstuck, but the floor jack is quicker for simple flat tire changes. I carry a Hi-Lift X-Treme 60" and and ARB X-Jack. The X-Jack is for lifts in snow and mud. http://www.arbusa.com/exhaust_jacks.php
