My wife bought me a Hi-Lift jack for Christmas. She got me the 60" jack because she thought it was the one I wanted. Only thing is, this thing is long. I don't see it being mounted anywhere but the roofrack.

My question I want to ask is should I take it back and get the shorter version, or should I keep this one? Should I opt for the shorter one because it would be easier to carry, and sacrifice the extra length?

Just wondering.
