Has anybody used Quikfist clamps to mount the Hi lift jack? I recently installed the Motobilt molle panel system and I'm trying to figure out the simplest mounting option.

So I bought some Built Right Industries panels from another forum member. Installed them mounted my Hi Lift Jack and locked it to the panels.

I had to cut several inches off my 60" bar to get it to fit.

My off brand "Hi-Lift" is the only jack I own that can actually get the tires off the ground, maxed out scissor doesn't even reach the axle.I'd like to see posts about Hi-Lift Jacks actually being used on Gladiators

While technically not *on* the Gladiator, I needed it after unhitching my camper one day. I was on a slope and after lifting the trailer off the ball, the trailer slid. Yes, it was chocked. My saving grace was the hi-lift to lift the trailer high enough so I could hook it back up to the truck.I'd like to see posts about Hi-Lift Jacks actually being used on Gladiators

Alright, that's 1 out of 39 posts. Anyone else actually use their Hi-Lift Jack in the last 10 years?

Did you miss my reply? My Hi-lift is the only jack I use. As far as people "actually using it" I hate seeing them exposed to the elements on hoods/tailgates and etc. Mine is lubed, wrapped in one of those waterproof camping bags, and behind my rear seat. It would really suck when you need it and that bad boy gets stuck in the up position mid tire change.Alright, that's 1 out of 39 posts.

Edit: Wait, you replied to picture proof of someone using their Hi-Lift on the previous page in this thread. What are you on about? ?

So I finally got my HiLift mounted on my Fishbone rack today. RCI Off-road in Loveland CO had the mounting kit. Had to go to Ace hardware and got some longer 3/8 carriage bolts with wing nuts and washers. I also put a an additional 1/2 carriage bolt on for a little more support.

HiLift haters are amusing.
It may ride around in my truck for years. But it would be stupid to need it and not have it. Just like the OEM jack that no longer works on my lifted truck, you carry a HiLift for that 0.001% chance.
If you really know how to use one (lift, pull, spread, clamp, casting etc), you realize that when you need a HiLift, nothing else will do. Definitely a man’s tool and not recommended for skinny jeans wearing, chai latte sipping hipsters.
