Don't think so, get an old Syncro jack and cut off the locating arm and weld to hi-lift jack? Aidan's done it...

I think you mean the big one jack, a big iron thing full of holes right? if so, I have at home the biggest hi lift jack when I usually used it while offroading my Land Rover... I was thinking about use it now with my Syncro... but I/we should use an adapter to put it between the Syncro chassis and the hi lift, if you dont do that the jack will work too much closed to the body and will destroy it when you are lifting the car... And of course I/we should use a bigger platform in the ground to stabilize it and also works for soft surfaces like sand or mud... Hoep you understand what I mean! :wink:

This one is for Land Rover Defender

You can also make special bumpers and blahblah... :lol:

Mind those "Farm Jacks" as sold by the others - these aren't Hi-Lifts. Same look same feel, but not the same lifelong service...(allegedly...) :wink:
