Thread: High Lift Jack

Have you got suitable jacking points on your Disco ?

New from ARB are only around the $150 mark but if the one you're looking at is a good one, then $99 is a good price.
Check the quality though - there are a few cheapies around .

It's on special offer at Repco. Is that likely to be a bit cheap and crappy? Is it worth spending the extra few $ and getting one from a 4x4 specialist?

Also, jacking points - dunno. It's still very much a bog standard Disco at the moment.

Years ago I would have said "no worries" from Repco but not so now....
Check where it's made. If China, I'd be tempted for something better IMO.

The high lift needs substantial jacking points. The towbar would be OK but not the best point for stability. If you plan on fitting sliders under your sills later, then the high lift would be good with those.
A decent bull bar would be needed to jack from for the front.

There are adaptors available to convert your wheels into a jacking point but I haven't any experience with those.

I'm getting sliders fitted fairly soon. Not a moment to soon either - my sidesteps got battered to f*ck at the weekend.

That ATV place you gave me a card for.

And as for price I can't remember -I *think* it'll be about $850 or so to get them fitted. I can't rememeber the exact price at the moment but I've paid a $500 deposit for the work when the sliders arrive off the boat.

I'm not sure how this price compares; it may not be the cheapest, but given my car I'm wanting to get the side steps taken off and sliders put on ASAP to prevent any body damage rather than wait another couple of months get it done cheaper elsewhere.

That is to supply and fit them! Not just $850 for installation

Im going down to price the steel for mine today, I might start knocking them up for you blokes too at that sort of price.
