Which size Hi-Lift to buy....does size matter?

[firesq14]

so my thoughts are.... which is a better built hi lift? all cast or the combo steel and cast?

[I Leak Oil]

I believe the all cast is considered to be the better construction. Not sure if there is enough difference to really worry about it.

I have an old 48" that I packed out of an abandoned mine years ago. For my needs and the lack of capacity of my truck I would still buy a 48". I pick my present truck up with each wheel (either end) or the rear hitch. As stated earlier, lifting from the chassis can tax a 48" if the suspension is supple. From the wheel (and a jack stand) has worked well for me. Practice at home and you'll do much better out on the trail. You'll also find out what other tools/stands/wood ect....that are needed. It only took me about 15-20 minutes to change a tire out on the trail...practice.
Have fun,
Chas
