Must have been bored but I got my hi lift out to test how high you have to jack a 75 series ute compared to an 80 series. The results were the 80 being the clear winner with 30cm and 17 for the ute just to lift the wheel. Both vehicles had the hi lift well and truly working in their top 1/3 just to lift a wheel barely off the ground. Having used hi lifts on a few occasions combined with hub lifters I realized that those recoverys would have been much more difficult/ immposible using jacking points not to mention the extra instability as a hub lifter will be working at about 60cm lower than a jacking point for the same amount of wheel lift
