bambamjj:
more than likely being misunderstood here.

Can i jack my vehicle up using the rock tree sliders?

paulnb57:
Yes!

roccodog:
yes you can jack your disco up on the rock sliders.

clover:
I find they are great for lifting the body off the chassis when doing a body lift  :dance: :clap: :rolleyes:

Which I've had to do 3 times on mine!  [-X [-o<

Long story... basically I had to weld in new body mounts on the rear inner sills where they had rotted away and no matter how hard I tried I could not get the repair panels to go back as they were originally so the spacers would not fit and I had to lift the body to get them back in! The one side was such a big welding job it took me a few months to summon up the will power to get on with the other side (and the fact the MOT ran out!).

If you have tree sliders you are best to get the Hi-lift right up against them for stability (of sorts).

I don't trust a Hi-lift for anything that involves you doing anything under/on the vehicle where you are putting life and limbs in danger! Recommend you use axles stands or another jack or something of substance just in case.

Land Rovers are I find one of the most unstable vehicles there are when it comes to jacking! I had mine on axle stands at the front with both wheels off and it still managed to move on me when I was hammering something off!

Mr Alford:
i have replaced my sills with 60x60x3mm box section now theyre just fine to jack up on
