    Hi Joe, for the job of lifting in and off road environment there's nothing to beat them, but I have seen situations where lads are lifting their jeeps trying to get clearance over a stump or rock when infact they should have been using a wheel strap with the hilift so they would be lifting axle 1st to gain clearance. Anybody with a hi-lift should have a wheel strap suitable for their wheels, MacTruck got 1 for us and I think its cost €5.
