Nice alternative to the high lift jack...

...for those of us that have a place to lift with it (rock sliders, hitch).

Looks pretty spiffy and I bet its lighter but at 4-5x the price of a regular high lift, I couldn't justify it. (then again, I'm a broke college student...)

holy crap that's spendy!

The local fleet/farm sells 48" Hi-lifts (genuine, not knock-offs) for $50...so that's 6.7 times more.

A 13 pound jack would be sweet though.

I still prefer the Titan Inflatable Exhaust Jack; and it only weighs ounces, not pounds. Plus it doesn't require specific lift points on the vehicle for jacking and works great on sloppy uneven terrain (mud; soft sand; deep snow; sideways on a hilly slope, etc.), and won't fly-off and hit you in the face like a hi-lift jack will when it loses its footing.

I realize you guys are taliking about rock sliders as your jacking point, and with that in mind, a Hi-Lift is the way to go; but without hard lift points available from outside the bodywork, it makes little sense. Jeepers have long benefitted by having stout bumpers to use as lift points, we can only wish...

I really like my hi lift jack but have to admit its hard to find a good storage place for it on a VX. The best exterior location is the roof rack which works as long as you don't drop the heavy jack through a window. I definitely see the advantages of a smaller jack.

Install a 3" body lift and you'll be able to jack the frame at the bumpers

I don't disagree with that really...but I guarantee you an exhaust jack would not have been able to jack my rig high enough to replace a coil spring, as I have had to do a number of times (not anymore though, if I can help it).
