What are you using it for? Changing a tire on the trail? Hi lifts are great multipurpose tools but they’re rarely the right tool for the job. And they’re multiple uses are being replaced with better options, such as winching, I’m guessing not many people here even know how to use one to hand winch or carry chain to do so. Realistically the only thing on a trail I could imagine wanting one for is if for some reason you needed to lift the body up- not an axle. High centered on a boulder and it’s stuck somehow and can’t winch off of it. Also helpful if you need to pop a bead off a tire. Hydraulic bottle jacks are cheap and available everywhere get one with a good size foot print so it’s stable. I still carry my oe jack in my tj for swapping flat tire roadside, it’ll lift axle just enough to pull a 35 off.
