That had occured to me, where you gono fasten the shackles also?

Barry Scott:
Going get the wheel lift accessory for the hi lift.  For the shackles there are two points on the bottom at the front.  Going to use them, I have seen pics of another frontera with recovery equiptment attached there.

Paul, ta, Ill drop him a line.

Not wrong there. A mate of mine lost his rear screen last week. Just changing a tyre on his drive!!!!!!!!

muddyweb:
Just to add a comment or two..

Yes, HiLifts can be very dangerous.  They shouldn't in my view be used as a jack at all.   If you have a wheel to change, unless circumstances really prevent it, use a decent bottle or trolley jack.

HiLifts have their place as a recovery aid or as a lifting device when "high lift" is the only option...   as a normal jack...  forget it...  spend a tenner in Halfords and save yourself a lot of grief.

Barry Scott:
I have to agree, the extent of use will be as a mechanical winch or to lift a wheel enought to get a waffle under it, at home I would use the trolley every time.
