Mine is in the shed 20 years on.
Only used around the yard.
I might have missed the way these hooks work...
So you have a flat tyre and attach the hooks to the wheel- jack it up- then what?
How do you get the wheel off?
If you’re using it on uneven ground for bogged or wheel “packing”
There’s a better than average chance of panel damage.
I'm pretty sure the idea is to lift the wheel out of a bogged situation.Quote:

Thinking about this thread over the last few hours, I couldn't really see a need for a high lift on these vehicles. They could potentially lift themselves high enough to clear the body from a bogging. If that wasn't enough I'm sure your a bit more stuck than a high lift could help with.
No way in hell would I use one to change a tyre on any vehicle!
Il admit I haven't had a ton of experience with our D4 in different recovery situations, but the ones I have- I lifted it as high as possible, cleared a path in front and behind the wheels and then drove out.
You use a high lift on a wheel so you can lift it out of the rut and pack it which gets you the body life you can get by simply pressing up on the suspension button on a D.
