Review on πŸ”§ Efficient Hi-Lift Jack 4X400 4XRAC Jack Mounting System: Secure and Convenient Storage Solution by Johnny Black

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Installed on the front bumper of a 2008 Chevy Silverado.

I installed this on the front bumper of my 2008 Chevy Silverado. Since the Silverado's bumper isn't flat and the bolts are a little crooked after installation, I took a sledgehammer and straightened the bolts 1/2" that hold the real jack in place. You must drive the screws with wing nuts to avoid damaging the threads. Try not to touch the threads. You are solid. Jack doesn't move. This is a good platform to stand on (on a jack) if you want to do maintenance/work on the engine. I considered installing them on the hood, but decided against it. Where it is installed, there are several pluses. One of them is that all of my work is in the city and parking is very tight. Cars always crash into me when parallel parking. With a high hoist on the truck's bumper, they'll think twice before they crash into me now. I have a 6 inch lift and the height of the lift and how far it protrudes is about the height of most car trunks. It makes me smile when I think of the people parallel parking in front of me trying to get a hit and it leaves a nice dent in their trunk. I put a pivot point in the back. Since I put it on, no one has hit me on the rear bumper. Now I'm protected from donkeys at both ends. :) Let's see how it holds up when I drive across the country for a month in August, through Baja California and the deserts of the Southwest. I will post a sequel.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Poorly thought out
