When you're just too tall for lifting from a bumper, or are stuck jacking with the vehicle at such an angle that your jack beam is just not long enough, one of the Lift-Mate accessories is very handy.

Granted, if you're trying to change a tire/wheel, jacking up using that tire and wheel becomes an issue. But not an insurmountable one.
Jack it up using the wheel, then stack something up under the axle tube so that you can release the wheel long enough to change it. Reverse the steps and you're done.
As you guys say though, any use of the Hi-Lift requires clear thinking, not rushing, a safety first frame of mind, and then extra care not to find yourself lying down underneath without an escape plan.
And then a Plan-B, Plan-C and Plan-D just in case.
But some of the accessories can get you out of a jam when the jack alone is not enough to get the job done properly.
