High lift jack bag
- Thread starter 88K5Jimmy

a friend of mine has the hard plastic case. he uses it to mount his hi-lift under the deck of his trailer. for anything other then that I think they are a waste. just a way to make getting to your jack take longer.

If you mean the cover that Hi - Lift sells, I got one for my 60" jack and it doesn't cover the (critical) bottom end, where protection would be good. I have no idea why they just wouldn't extend the damn thing another few inches so it would be worth having. It's on my list to just make a cover that will actually cover it.
Now it's mostly just a PITA.
It would work OK on the 48" jack I suppose, but depending on how you mount the jack you might have to poke a hole in the cover somewhere. I had to do that too.

the hard plastic one you have to cut a hole in thetop to fit a 60". the sell another plastic extension to fill it in.

Just carry some good lubrication. That will make jacking it way easier anyway....
Covering it up will just make it harder to use when you want it the most
But seriously:
I had the bag. It sucked. I had the hard case. It sucked. I bolted my hilift down it sucked. The only easy way to mount one, if you use it frequently (you do if you wheel by yourself or don't have a winch), is to use big wingnuts and maybe a little lock to keep the thieves from snaking the jack.
