Part #: HK-B or HK-R
My Daystar handle keeper finally rotted away after many years and I needed to replace it before going on a long trip to the mountains. One thing I didn't like about the Daystar keeper was that for me to operate the Hi-lift jack properly I needed to take the handle keeper completely off the Jack. This was difficult since I have the clevis hook installed on the end of the Hi-Lift Jack. I would need to take off the clevis, then take the keeper off every time I needed to use the Jack. Even if I pushed it all the way up, it would just catch the top of the jack handle. This time I decided to go with the Hi-Lift version which I could take off with the clevis hook in place. I did read some bad reviews about the rubber quality deteroriating rather quickly. I haven't seen any changes in the month since I installed it (March 2021), but I think the difference is not having it mounted over the top of the engine.

Common Sense and Safety should always be observed when working on your vehicle or doing modifications. Jackstands, wheel blocks, disconnecting the battery are a few of the basic safety precautions that should be used and may not be mentioned in the write ups on this site. You are responsible for your own installation, these write ups are a helpful guideline and should not be taken as an official installation instruction. My write up may be different from the kits currently out there, so alwasy double check the manufacturers installation instructions when installing anything. I try to keep the site up to date with changes that have occured as I discover them, but may not have the latest unless someone lets me know. If you feel that an install is above your capabilities after reading my write ups, I recommend getting together with a club and getting some help. Only a few times have I needed to employe some actual help from a shop to get something done. Usually welding or A/C work. While I have spent many years working on mechanical systems, I am not an expert, nor do I pretend to be one. I hope these write ups have been useful to you.
