I'm one of those that has stopped carrying the Hi Lift and I even have a great rack system to carry it with. Takes me literally 30 seconds to get the jack removed off my rig. Most folks have it buried or in pieces which really strikes me as odd.
I don't like the weight and I don't like the way the jack operates. Yes it has bailed me out a number of times but I would just as soon pull out a strap or pull the winch cable. They are not the safest pieces of equipment - I always mind myself around them.
