I agree.... I've come to the same conclusion after years of offroading.

The difference here is that one of the selling points of the 4xG sliders was supposed to be hi-lift jacking points. I had assumed that these were designed/tested given the quality of 4xG products to date.

Being that the jack is now merely an emergency tool and/or off-road winching tool, ill just be throwing it in the back with the other tools. I was hoping it would replace/supplement my scissor jack in a pinch (and be much easier to access for a tire change on a roadtrip when I have the back full of kids stuff)... but that's not going to happen.
