high lift jacks

[greek_style]

hey what is the best brand of high lift jack out for the best money?
and what prise range should i be looking at spending on 1 and is better to buy new or used??

[Taz]

I spent about $60-$70 bucks on a 60" 'Farm jack' (that was a special I think.)
Worked all good till some paddy tried to lift the corner of a house with it now she's a bit one sided. Would/will get another one.

where abouts do u get farm lift jacks from i went to bnt and wasnt to sure on the make coz all iv seen on pplz trucks are the red farm lift ones so was wondering if the B.N.T ones are just as good ???

[Taz]

Vapormatic. Can't comment on the BNT ones.

Peter Monroe is currently selling the ARB high lifts for $219.
I priced 1 the other day.

the genuine "High Lift" brands are the bling ones to get but the cheaper farm jack copies work fine, try and get a 48" one instead of a 60" coz you'll have problems getting it to fit in or on your vehicle

Picked up a genuine good cond Hi-Lift off TM for $60 when I picked it up it was a 60" son can up with a bright idea, jacking bar sits across rear bar of safari, the rest goes inside

[albundy]

The pins on my farm type have never let go, on the other hand the pins on my highlift brand have gone several times

Unless you want to come to Chch you will have to do a bit of walking with your fingers

Power Built do them also although I have never own one of them either so can't comment on quality.

If you find the one you get is to long, just cut a bit off. Easy as.

I've never heard of the pins in a farm jack letting go, the pins seize up a bit but so do the high lift ones and you fix that with a bit of crc and grease every so often. If you want a genuine high lift your going to have to pay the $$$$ coz they arent cheap, dunno what they are worth now but I paid about $130-135ish for mine 4 or 5 years ago?
