definitely the 60"... I have a 48" and its not of much use on a big fullsize rig...

Well I bought a 60" years ago when I bought my first HL jack. I also carry a 12T bottle jack for changing tires and making repairs. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

Tractor Supply Company sells them the cheapest (or Fleet Farm if you're a Cheesehead).

I think the 48" is ideal if you carry a chain to hook the frame to the axle. A 48" jack at its maximum height can have a pretty wicked bow in the bar by the time you lift a tire.

My truck isnt done yet.. but I have used the highlift to change my cab bushings... and I believe the 60" is better for higher lifting.. expecially if your truck has any flex. Mine doesnt flex alot (as it sits in the driveway.. ) but I tried flexin it with the highlift 60" and this is what I got....
