Hi-Lift Jack Mount Location?

[Hurlz07Tahoe]

Anyone have a hi-lift jack mounted on their Tahoe or Yukon? If so, where did you mount it and how?

Thanks!

Not sure why anyone would want to mount a hi-jack on their Tahoe. Its one thing if you are putting one on a ugly ass Jeep, but a Tahoe? Come on bro. There is not even a need for a hi-jack unless you are seriously lifted and plan on doing some major trail driving.

However, I am pretty sure N-FAB makes a rear bumper with a mount for a jack like that.

The problem is that I am not seriously lift, but enough that I'm bound to do something stupid and get in to trouble. Plus I often launch my boat and jet ski from a sandy beach and it would be nice to have the jack available if I get my rig and/or trailer(s) stuck in some soft sand. Plus I have the damn thing so I figured I would try to put it to use.

Some place up on the factory roof rails or cross bars would be nice. Something that I can take on and off easily...

Hi lift makes mounts for an aftermarket roof rack it you plan to get one? I think a high lift jack is a good idea but i would get a recovery strap and a D ring before the jack.

Yeah, I've checked out the Hi-Lift accessories and nothing there will really work for what I want to do. And I don't want to get an aftermarket roof rack.

I will probably go to the hardware store and see if I can come up with something to mount it to my factory roof rail or cross bar....unless someone give me a better idea on here!

Yup, Recovery strap and D-Rings is what you are gonna need before the high-lift. Trust me I know. Just got done getting the truck unstuck and tried for an hour with an high-lift jack. Called a buddy in his 07' Lifted Jeep rubicon and hooked my 11,000 Pound Recovery strap up to the D-Rings and was out in 10 Minutes.

Save your money, and spend it on a good quality recovery strap and D-Rings.

+1

or save your money and buy the rings and yank strap AND a winch!

Already have recovery strap and D-Rings, but they don't do anything for you if you are alone! I already have the hi-lift jack, had it for years. Just thought it would be nice to have it mountable in a handy location if I need it.

guys...lets be serious here for a second...a hi-lift has its situational use too...not EVERYONE can just call someone up and be towed out....


I was going through the trails in the snow...up in the mountains about 10 miles off any road...just me and my buddy with his silverado..(back when I had my ranger)...my shit got stuck...and he couldnt get any traction on the snow/ice...so the tow strap was pointless...the hi-lift got my truck lifted up and we put shit under the tires...got out easy...

I would get the brackets for the aftermarket roof rack and see if you can fab it to fit. I would put it on the last bar.
