Hi-Lift LM-100 Lift-Mate Vehicle Jack Adapter - Wheel Lifting Solution

In this review of the Hi-Lift LM-100 Lift-Mate the bottom line is simple: this adapter is for drivers who need to lift a wheel or a vehicle when bumper lift points are out of reach. The reviewer found the LM-100 saves time and removes guesswork for lifted trucks and SUVs by allowing any Hi-Lift jack to pick up directly from the wheel, so less travel on the jack bar is required to reach a safe height. For anyone using taller tires or lift kits, this accessory is a practical addition to the tool kit.

Key Features

• Wheel-first lifting: Lets a Hi-Lift jack lift directly from the wheel so vehicles with large tires or lift kits can be raised without relying on bumper reach.
• Reduced jack travel: Greatly cuts the amount of travel up the jack bar required to reach an adequate and safe lifting height, making lifts quicker and more predictable.
• 5,000 lb capacity: Supports a substantial 5,000 pound lift capacity suitable for most trucks and SUVs encountered in everyday use.
• Rubber-protected contact points: Rubber coated hooks and a rubber pad protect the wheel and tire at the lifting contact, minimizing cosmetic and traction damage.
• Complete kit components: Includes the jack nose adapter and nylon straps with hooks so the Lift-Mate is ready to mount and secure when needed.

Who It's For

The LM-100 is aimed at owners of trucks, SUVs and off-road vehicles who have taller tires or suspension lifts that make standard bumper lifts impractical; it is especially useful when a vehicle exceeds the travel length of a standard Hi-Lift jack. The adapter suits DIY mechanics and roadside repair situations where a reliable, direct wheel lift reduces effort and uncertainty.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers who do not own a compatible Hi-Lift jack or who need a full floor jack for low-clearance work; this is an adapter that complements a Hi-Lift system rather than replacing a dedicated floor jack or a shop hoist.

Pros & Cons
