Lift options since a high lift is now out (2 Viewers)

I'm liking the idea of sliders with attachment points and a large 60" hi-lift.

But if you're on the downside of a hill maybe you need higher than a 60" lift. Or you can stack rocks or blocks and put the hi lift on them.

Do you take a running start to get in that thing?

Tried once, lost three teeth

you know white guys and jumping and all

For trail work. Any plans sliders or bumper work? Not that you necessarily need sliders for protection but done right they are a good lifting point and you could build in specific lifting points if desired. You could also weld on some attachments points to the frame and axle and fix a strong strap between them so the spring won't droop out. I carry both a high lift and a bottle jack with a selection of blocks depending on what the issue is on the trail. As you mentioned having a good base surface to lift from adds safety to sketchy situations. At least in our 60's there is decent room in the back to carry a couple extra things.

Would add some lift points but still A hi lift working at over 3ft which I’m not a huge fan of.

It's very effective when getting stuck in mud at low tide

ah, mud, I hate that stuff.

I carry a few lengths of 1/4” chain with threaded connector links to sling the axle to the frame to take up the suspension drop out when lifting with a hi-lift from bumper or sliders. A very strong ratchet strap will work too. Saves extending the whole suspension
Sorry to be redundant if this was this mentioned earlier
