I had a Tacoma for a long time and now have a Chevy Colorado.
I have the 2016 Duramax with 145 75 17 E rated tires Question is to GM off roaders who rely on their High Lift jack. I have the Lift Mate hooks to grab the wheel rim. Before I start banging around .... has anyone every lifted your GM truck using the lift and do you have pointers as to location on rim to secure the hooks. My rims are the stock aluminum 17". I also carry 2 sand mats for the mud holes and sand traps. There are occasions where the high lift comes in handy to lift out of a hole. I also carry a 3 ton platform jack for flat fixing, wheel removal.

. I was at SEMA talking with the Hi-Lift reps. About lifting the wheel with the jack and the adapter. What he said is to chock the rear or front depending which axle you are lifting, try to split the location of the rubber pad on the lifting part of the jack between the rim and wheel, placing the hooks on the straps in the spoke slots where possible. Start lifting till the wheel rotates and centers the lifting straps. If you are in 4 wheel drive this is when truck can move while lifting straps turn the wheel trying to even out. He stated that this wheel lifting part works on most wheels with openings to place the hooks, wide deep dish wheels can be a problem but stock or near stock should be fine.
