Hi Lift Jack: Which is better the "All Cast" or "Cast &amp; Steel" 48" Hi Lift Jack?

They're both fine for pretty much all the use most recreational off-roaders will ever have for them. But go ahead and spend the extra $5 and get the "All Cast" version (the red one). It'll live through a little more abuse, and you'll look cool fitting in with all the other guys wheeling with them mounted to their rigs in one way or another.

from ARB's website: Particularly well suited to use in sand, mud and snow, and with a lifting capacity of 4400lb, the exhaust operated X-Jack is an invaluable recovery tool, providing up to 31" of vehicle lift. It gives no specification on pressure, but it does offer both the ability to use exhaust hose or aux air via compressor or air tank.

It is all metal and sturdy. It works very well on my SUV that weighs 5.5 k lbs. The only drawback is that I had to use a block of wood to raise the height 3" higher as my vehicle came with large tires. Love the jack and it is money well spent.

it worked great but whatever you do, block whatever your lifting. My trailer moved just a little and it fell off the jack. The jack was totally destroyed, as a result of twisting as it fell. I can send a picture of the damage, if you want me to. I'm very handy but could find no way to fix it. Having said that though, I still bought a replacement. I'm 76 years old and it sure make jacking things up EASY !!! I can e-mail a picture if you e-mail me at hank-g1@hotmail.com

Get you a toe-jack, it's designed for it. Amazon sells it too, see attached brief description for a typical one, then do a search for it:TEMCo TH0025 Hydraulic Machine Toe Jack Lift 2.5 / 5 TON Track by TEMCo

Go for the Incra Master Lift II. You won't regret it. Do not buy the one sold by Rockler. They will tell you it's the same, but it's not.

I've had the DWS355 for over and year and added the corded Porter Cable PCE605K about 4 months ago. The PC shares the same 3.0 amp motor as the DWE315 and it isn't that much stronger than this beast. I prefer the grip of either Dewalt over the PC (it feels like your holding a beer can). The only negative the Dewalt has IMO is it's extremely loud. Louder than the Porter or my old HF tool.

Merv, I'm guessing your question is about the 48" extension for the Torklift SuperHitch? If you have the SuperHitch with two receiver slots, then the 48" extension should be universal and fit. The assembly of the 48" extension is easy, but it ways a ton! Don't forget that you will need the 48" trailer light/brake cable extension as well. I have called the help line/technical guys at Torklift several times and they are great! They told me which items & part numbers I needed for my 2012 F250 short bed and were very knowledgeable. Good luck! Mark

I bought a Lowes Trailer, it had the standard "Top Wind" jack installed but with a "Foot" as the base. I bought one of these casters and it worked perfect. I too was concerned it would fit. But most of this stuff is standard and it will likely work. The price here at Amazon was the best I could find. So do like I did, order it, it is returnable. Good Luck. And yes 2" opening.

I have only used my jack once since I purchased it at the end of last season. I have seen other brands at a dealer for repair or replacement. The experience reviews I read indicate this jack is above average. I doubt if any power jack is whisper quiet. I am happy with my Barker VIP jack.

The jack has really good control for lowering vehicle. I really like this jack... I have a Allied 3-Ton I don't even use anymore.

I would go with the higher TW also!! That's what I've used on several different size and weight trailers and they all pulled just great!! Best Hitch on the market!! Hands down!!

You can use a piece of steel pipe as an extension for the handle on the Torin jack, as long as the Torin's handle can fit inside the pipe. Be careful, however. The Torin is not a large professional car jack; it definitely has some stability and weight-lifting issues when it reaches its maximum lifting limits. I would recommend a big, heavy-duty professional floor jack instead of the Torin for frequent and heavy-lifting use. Safety would be my first concern for both you and the vehicle.

Yes, I have the same product combination. The lift drops right into the cast/machined recess in the table. I am very happy with the performance of both items in combination, although the lift does tend to stick at higher elevation adjustments.

I like the Roadmaster 061 better if you have a raise lip at the receiver, but to answer your question either will work. I have 3 different ones, but the least damaging to the metal is the Roadmaster. However the Stowaway is probably better if no raise lip at receiver.

Sorry I can't answer your question as the jack was bought as a gift for a friend.

Get the Wolff Xtra trigger spring to make it worthwhile. That's the only way to get it down to a 3.5 pull. Connector leaves you with a 4.5 pull
