In an emergency I have used the bumpers, not safe and there was some degree of damage. Same for the sills.   Thomas Abernethy (Toadisco311) New Member Username: Toadisco311 Post Number: 38 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Thursday, November 27, 2003 - 01:41 pm:    You might be able to use your rear hitch reciever. I have never done this so I cant comment on its effectivness, but i think it would be alright   Rob Davison (Nosivad_bor) Dweb Lounge Member Username: Nosivad_bor Post Number: 1250 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Thursday, November 27, 2003 - 01:49 pm:    the hitch will work, but the jack tends to lean into the spare tire. otherwise, you should have a heavey duty bumper to use this tool. in most cases the hi-lift is not the most practicle tool. the tried and true bottle jack does the job well and it's much safer than the big jack TJM bumpers have a convenient slot that Hi-lift type jacks can fit in.
