Best jack for a lifted quad cab

[codyusaf04]

Hey guys,
I've recently been doing some mods to my truck and now that it has a 5 inch lift and some big tires I started thinking about accessories i might need to keep with the truck. After looking at some diagrams of the lift-points for my truck, would it be safe to say that a "Hi-lift trail jack" wouldn't work for my truck? The lift/jack points are relatively far underneath the body...from videos I've seen on youtube, it looks as though the hi-lift jacks are more for jeeps....What can you guys recommend for a good jack to use that can handle the weight?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

You can use a bottle jack under the rear axle. I used to do it with my jeep with 35 inch tires.

Hi-lifts are dangerous, and should only be used carefully and only on the trail.

If you have to use one, be sure to compress the suspension with a ratchet strap around the axle and frame (rear) or around the lower control arm in the front. This minimizes the amount you have to lift, and reduces the risk of the foot kicking out. You only have to ratchet it so the suspension can't droop.
