My $2 Hi-Lift slider adapter

Thought I would post up my Hi-Lift slider adapter - all of $2 at the most. I use this on my sliders every time I do maintenance on the truck and it has worked well for me over the last three years. It is basically a hockey puck cut on two sides, channel chiselled to receive the tongue of the Hi-Lift and a perpendicular round slot created by wrapping sand paper around my slider and using it to sand out the slot. I first used it to protect my slider from metal - metal contact with the jack, but it has worked so well, even on sloped and cambered surfaces that I trust the set up.

Very cool idea. A word of caution though, be careful in the long run using a hockey puck. They do break down over time, dry out, crack, and I'd hate to see that happen if you had your truck in the air when it decided to fall apart.

Just look out for any cracks in it.

Jarda good idea.

The puck should last a long time as long as your not using one with a Toronto Maple Leaf logo.
