Just from the pictures, I would put money on it that I can find a way to safely lift the vehicle with the SA sliders.
Jon, I actually have an idea for a hi-lift adapter for your sliders that would make the process fool-proof and as safe as it gets (it would completely eliminate the possibility of the jack slipping off the slider. )
I'm interested.Originally Posted by Matt

Yes. It is a problem. I kick the base in about 6" and throw a rag over the top of the I beam before starting to lift now.

I'll shoot you a PM later tonight.
I had this happen on an old car changing a tire when all the cars came with these types of jacks in them LOL. Sorry to hear that about the 4xG sliders that's a lot of money spent to have them not work as advertisedThe SA sliders stick out a lot further then the 4xG so if you had a strap or a chain you could wrap around the tubed part you could lift there I guess. I won't be getting a that type of jack though I'd rather put my floor jack in the back of the XK instead LOL
Or you can buy a Co2 bottle jack like I have

That's why I have things like this
That coupled with a rag and we are in buisnessHi-Lifts are dangerous tools, but in am emergency they are cheap insurance. I picked mine up years ago for $30 and I just snagged one for my dad yesterday for $20! I would love to have a BajaJack, but those thinks are pricey. It is hard for me to justify spending that much money when I have something that works when/if I ever need it.
On another note, they do make an adapter for the Hi-Lift to be used with a tube bumper or rockers like with the new Steel Armidilos rails.
