Hi-Lift Jack Off-Road Kit ORK

I hit allot of forest roads and dispersed camping. I hit mud snow and rutted terian made from skinny pedal rubi warriors. Either way if you own a farm jack and display it proudly then you might want this. All jokes aside this is a good kit. The bag has plenty of room for 20-30ft of chain that you need to make this kit usable. Being able to reset the jack by your self is huge If you explore alone. Where I go a chain saw, tire chains and some type of winch is cheap insurance to get home home. Cheers!!

Hi-Lift Jack Off-Road Kit ORK great for off roading in the Jeep..

My only gripe is the mounting hardware that attaches these to the jack. When I'm stuck in the mud or high-centered on a rock that's really not when I want to be fishing around in my toolbox for a wrench to attach these things to my jack. The kit even includes a clevis pin with a wire retainer to make the foot of your jack "quick release". Why not do that for the brackets too?? I'll be heading to the local farm store to see if I can source some suitable fasteners and toss the nut and bolt into the toolbox as a backup. So far I haven't had the opportunity to use this to extract a vehicle but it did a great job yanking a stuck drain pipe from beneath a slab. The grab-hook that attaches to the lifting tab is very handy for grabbing fence posts and other things that need to be "pulled" as well. I'm not sure why this kit doesn't come assembled. Granted, it only takes a few minutes to install the grab hooks and attach the brackets but that seems to be a little short-sighted. I think there are probably some folks out there that are going to buy this kit and just toss it in their truck until they think they need it. When they finally open the box and actually look at the pieces...surprise!! They're going to spend some time with assembly that could be better used getting unstuck.

The pricing is better than available elsewhere online. The included tree saver strap, nylon bag and leather gloves are pretty cheaply made. I bought this really only for the steel chains and brackets for winching. Hi Lift has a reputation for putting out quality, American made jacks. Too bad they didn't continue along that track with their accessories.

I originally purchased this kit to go with my Hi-Lift Jack mounted on my Jeep. However, today I used some parts from the kit to use the Hi-Lift jack to pull some old 4x4 posts (mounted in concrete). It worked great without any digging. I just had to use a piece of 2x12 I had lying around, to stabilize the jack on the soft ground. I pulled several posts in no time at all. Highly recommend.

The kit is pretty good. The price, though lower than anywhere else, is quite high. 2 hooks, 2 short lengths of chain, a tow strap, a shackle, and a pair of gloves should cost $20-30. The 2 ends that connect the chains to the jack and the bag is where all the cost comes from.

I've Jimmy rigged these adapters in the past when using farm jack, glad to have real solutions for future use.

Well made. Those that have trouble with this might not know exactly how to use this and should see YouTube. I like it as is. Winch on front and this for back I can get out of almost anything.
