Hi Lift Jack

[Lugslandrovers]

Hi
any ideas.
Whats the cheapest way of fitting jacking points for using a Hi-Lift on a Disco.
Don't want to change the bumpers etc. Is there an adaptor or mounting kits to fit onto the existing bumpers??
On the rear could i use the Tow bar??
On the the front could i use the recovery eyes.??

Hi see the for sale section on here as somebody is selling just what you need.
recovery points with high lift sockets.

Thanks
Don't look as though they will fit a Disco s1  but i have emailed the seller.
Anyone any comments on using the towbar with a Hi-lift to raise the rear??

I've seen a few hi lift jacking joints which bolt onto the towing plate, usually sandedged using the towball bolts. This is the scorpion version, but there are others as well.

I wouldn't recoment jacking of a standard rear tow bar, you can (needs must when the devil drives) but my experiance is its about as safe as northern rocks business plan.

Great idea will trawl the web for others as well
Thanks

hi m8y
have you looked into the strap you can buy that allows you to lift off one of the wheels? ok not much good if you are changing the tyre but least you cud use an axle stand under your axle then remove the hi-lift?

just a thought/option

Another good idea Jake
Wonder if i could also use it on the tow bar to lift the rear.
Put the hooks through the spare holes in the tow bar plate.

I have a detachable towbar fitted which I usually leave off unless I need it. The square section hole for bolted to the chassis is a good high lift point on the back... assuming you have the defender extension on the high lift.

I was just about to ask if there's anything to enable you to jack on a detachable towbar mounting - mine has the square receiver hitch hole.

This is the 90/110 Jack adaptor that most rock sliders/HD Bumpers are set up for these days.



The tube of the adaptor is a very loose fit in mine but there is enough of it inside to prevent things getting too hairy. Just make sure you put a bolt or pin with a locking mechanism through the adaptor and foot of the jack!  :shock:
