I'm a new H2 owner... jacking in the field, high centered in sand, front or back wheel in a deep hole, Side wall damage or just a nail. where do you place a jack?

Hi-Lift or regular?

I'd use the recovery points for a High Lift.

The regular jack has instructions where to position the jack.

Gently should be underlined 4 or 5 times.

I've lifted mine from there, and the rocker bars were eating into the body.

I wouldn't recommend going more than 3 pumps on the rocker bars.

Thank you for the good posts. just did get a 60" high lift. See mounting high lift to brush guard.

Eeeeeek, you couldn't pay me to lift the H2 over 48 inches.

A 48" high lift is dangerous enough in my opinion.

Det and I High Lifted my H2 up from the rear driver side recovery point this last weekend. Went just fine. I would not suggest laying down under the thing for a nap, but it did not seem extremely dangerous.

We were using an off road base though. They provide a bit of stability. We also didn't have to worry about your truck rolling forward either. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif
