These look a little more trust worthy than the orange punching bag looking thing.

Trailer hitch seems to be a viable jacking point.

I wonder how stable those would be in the dirt? It might come in handy for a quick change while off road... I can just see this now get a flat pop that out up in seconds get out the air impact and tire is changed in pit stop fashion... My onboard air could handle this easy...

They specify their utility in dirt, mud, water, etc. Of course, they also list a handful of CYA's lol.

i thought our hitches only had a 1,000 lb tongue rating? wouldn't raising it by the hitch exceed it by a few thousand pounds?

That's pulling down on an extension tongue, not lifting up on the receiver. Putting a jack under the reciever (2" square box opening) would be much the same as using a weight distributing hitch, which lifts the rear and puts more weight on the front axles.

I've used a floor jack under the reciever on my 2001 to lift the rear when rotating the tires after the front has jackstands under the control arms. Done it 2x a year for the past 10+ years with no problems.

I didn't see anything bend, so eff it.

FWIW, It didn't have the weight of the rear axle or spare on it. lol

I was lifting the body up to get more space to snake the exhaust pipe out, going over the axle.

Not sure who makes our hitches but that method is ok for Curt

I lifted mine with a farm jack on the hitch and my steel bumper flexed the frame enough to crack my rear tail light.. It moved about 1/2 inch... For the back end I just lift the differential and toss jack stands under there...
