I think the bottom line is you need sliders to offroad even a little, because, once you have them, you have a jack point.

The reasons to jack off road are typically involving getting stuck, like high centered or a tire too deep to get out...a flat needing to be changed or a blown bead needing repair, etc...

...with an occaisional need to crawl under and pull a rock or branch out of the undercarriage or repair a spun t-bar or whatever...and when crawling under the X, on uneven/soft terrain, you DO NOT want just a jack between you and being pancaked.

So - You need a hi-lift to offroad, you need sliders to use the hi-lift, and you also need stands in case you need to go under the truck as well.



And - Even if all you did was get larger tires...your factory jack is now too short to even allow a side of the road spare tire change...so you need a taller jack JUST to change an ON ROAD flat, etc.
