Hi-Jack

The other option is to pull from a different point. This example shows pulling from the top of the tire. A strap can be put around the tire and pulled from lower on the jack.
Don't get me wrong - size DOES matter. but if the Hi-Lift is used as a means of last resort you can make a 48" one work. It's easier to fit on the vehicle too.
Again, just my opinion. Not right, not wrong.

Sum a gun - you're right! Still ain't 6 inches.
No matter - it's not the size of the hole that matters, it's how you use it.
Not sure how my error in lifts-per-hole makes a difference in how you use the thing in an emergency. Again, the point isn't that a longer jack isn't better. Of course it is. Do you NEED a longer jack to use it successfully to get out of a jamb? No, not in my opinion.
Please, by all means, buy a 60" jack if that's what you want. I'm just saying it's not what I need.
