Is there an aftermarket equivalent of the hi-lift ORK "custom nose adapter" to securely attach a chain to the nose of the hi-lift? I have the jackmate coming for the other end, but don't want to buy the whole off-road kit to get one item.

We don't use any "attachment" when we demonstrate a HiLift come-a-long. We loop a strap around the nose of the jack and have NEVER had one come off... I don't like the HiLift "kit" - it's kinda hokie. The chain is some kind of small un-graded make and why spend the money to carry another piece of gear around that only really serves one purpose? You already have a strap - there's your "kit"!

(We are talking about the attachment for a HiLift come-a-long aren't we? Or are you referring to the bumper lift attachment?)

Don't you guys also use a second strap to hold the truck in position while resetting the jack? Better than using one chain to do both?

We just secure the truck with a chock or on brakes then reset with a chain or knot sinnet on a strap or extension.

We use 2 straps, a chain, and a winch extension. You can do it with just two straps!
