IF YOU BUY A WINCH IS THERE REALLY ANY NEED TO BUY A $60/$70 HIGH LIFT JACK?

Actually, yes.

Sometimes, winches do crap out on you, so it's another layer of independence.

Also, sometimes it's good to just jack up the back end out of a hole, then give a little sideways nudge to get it out of a rut.... NOT that I'm advocating that ANYONE EVER try that, that'd be dangerous!

Also, if you have sliders, a better bumper, or some good jacking point, and especially with a lift, it's nice to have the taller jack when on uneven ground for changing tires.

Mi dos centavos, FWIW....
