I will check COSTCO for a jack, thanks for that piece of advise.
I am hopeful the lift goes in this week/weekend.
Hopefully i can hold off on the jack so a couple of other mods can be placed on the belly soon.

The jack will be used repeatedly, so keep that in mind. I have used my floor jack many times to support skid plates, so my priority order would be the jack stands, floor jack, and then skid plates.
BTW, hi-lift would be WAY down the list...and of course, it would be after winch and lightbar :)

My hi-lift is just rusting away in the garage. I'd much rather use my bottle jack/jackstand combo

Yeah...mine just sits on my trailer most of the time, but I did use my hi-lift when I had to change the starter and the control arms were in the way in normal position.

Bottle/jack stand in one, was one of the most useful items I've bought.

True. Not as useful for some things, but still good to have around.
