Looks much sturdier than HF and definitely good if/when I start offroading.
I looked at it this way... My ass is going to end up underneath that Jeep while it is being held up by that jack. Do I want some cheap POS knock-off or the proven original holding up my rig? The cost difference isn't that significant.

You will get 10,000 different opinions about hi-lift vs. knock-off if you ask 10,000 different people. It is a rather heated debate.

As soon as you put larger tires on that thing, you are going to need it. What if you have a flat on the side of the road? Your little OE bottle jack ain't going to get a 33" tire off the ground.
