I know there are other options out there for the hi-lift base. I was wondering what people prefer? I personally like the fact the Relentless Fab and Rocker Offroad bases actually attach to the jack. Thoughts?

Thoughts?
I couldn't bring myself to pay $40 for the hi lift one. Mike gave me one he won that I think I've used twice.
Relentless doesn't look much better IMHO.
Rocker looks like the best but $80? That seems a bit much for some welded scrap.
$179 for the Alien? What, are you stoned?

The welded one does look the best, but it's a little high. Maybe bandit should start fabbing some.

Hahaha I didn't say I was buying these but they are options out there that I found. If I was to get one I would purchase the Relentless or Rocker ones but like you said these are expensive. I might just carry a 4 x 6 piece of wood or similar

I did not realize the relentless one can be flipped

Have the hi lift one. Light weight and stable. I'll stick with it.

I've used one of the red ones in the past, but, like Ernie, I still employ the 'all-natural' wood solution, lol.

I usually carry two to four 1'x1' 3/4" plywood pieces in my toolbox for just this or to support 3-ton jack stands. Those other pieces are pretty sweet but man, those prices are out of hand~
