As I mentioned in an other post about air jacks. Been used on rough terrain and aircraft recovery since WWII if not before. All we did in my 10 years of Crash Recovery when we used them was add a half inch thick felt pad top and bottom, never had a problem. They will lay flat in the back of your VX and are great to use as a knee pad when and if you need it.

If your exhaust still has the cross over pipe, you will have to stick a carrot up the other side.Originally Posted by mikemol
If there is no cross over pipe, you can run your air bag from either side.

Hey, I'm not trying to "burst your bubble" - PUN INTENDED! I never said this is a no-use aparatus, I'm sure it would come in handy on several occasions, like at children's birthday partiesIn response to getting a hole in it, I dunno about that. It is extremely thick, and if you had a doubt about sharp edge protection, there are those wonderful things in your truck that are rubber and carpet, I think they are called floor mats? Those could be used for protection if you deemed it required. I love mine, and will not be carrying a hi-lift jack, this way I can help others, even if they aren't driving a hi-lift friendly vehicle. I don't plan on building a fence anytime soon with my jack, and as for winching out, with an airbag, you just lift the truck and put something underneath, problem solved.But as always, to each his own.
(At the meet, lots of people had farm jacks, I wwas the only one with an airbag, and half of them had never even seen one or heard of one, and you know how I like to roll, that alone made it worth it, them scratching their heads in doubt after trying to yank free a Rodeo, and less than 2 min later, I had him out and was putting my toy away
)
But anyway, I wasn't talking to you!
You got the unit, you used it, and you like it, good for you! I am talking to the only other guy that is as typically long-winded as either one of us! I am simply defending the Hi-Lift against the, "I have obviously never used either type of lifting device, nor been in a situation where I needed to, yet I maintain the Hi-Lift is not nearly as multi-versatile as this wonder-pillow, mindset". I mean, I truly realize my postings can be intimidating as I always write in a 'justification style, supported by facts' method... but really, all Riff can come up with is a heart and an exploding head?
Truly disappointed, Brian...
Chris, I hope the Titan never lets you down... er, until you need to be let down.

thats why i say throw a hi-lift on your roof-rack or behind your seats and when you bubble pops you have a 'backup'

Felt pad is a good idea, I actually keep a mover's blanket, a real one, not one of the crappy Harbor Freight ones, in the. back. It is big enough to cover the whole rear of the VX, the undercarriage if I have to lay on the ground, and makes a nice cushion as well.

Found a good price on one of these and thought I'd pass the link along. Looks like around $110 incl. shipping.
