For those of you out there already carrying a Hi-Lift jack—or thinking about carrying a Hi-Lift—this custom-made, GoWesty designed Vanagon-specific adapter is an absolute must-have. It plugs directly into any of the four factory jack points and ensures a safe and stable lift while keeping the jack itself away from the body of your van. Precise slots and contours fit the Hi-Lift jack and the Vanagon for a perfect "no slop" assembly, while the included retaining pin eliminates the possibility of the adapter slipping off the jack. This fit is imperative for your safety and the safety of your vehicle.

Fits: All years and models of Vanagon (2WD & 4WD) however, it will not work with Carat-style, fiberglass, side-skirt trim panels.

Pro Tip: If you venture off-road, we highly recommend installing a set of our Rock Sliders to protect your lower rocker panel while simultaneously providing integrated Hi-Lift Jack points for convenient and safe lifting.

Disclaimer: Use of this product (as well as a Hi-Lift Jack) is inherently dangerous. Extreme caution must be taken to avoid injury and/or damage to your vehicle. GoWesty assumes no responsibility for damage or injury resulting from the use of this product.

I can see the dents in the body where the previous owner lifted tha van and the jack was too close. This unit kept the jack at a safe distance with a solid connection. Buy the hi-lift but don't forget the adapter. This is the solution.

Perfect accessory for Vanagon

This adapter is beyond solid, it slides over the jack lift point and is pinned in place. The rod portion that slides into the van's lift point is built of solid steel, it cannot fail. The adapter is required if using a high lift jack and you want to preserve your sheet metal. Highly recomended

Peace of mind

Fortunately I haven't had to use this yet but it does give me peace of mind in case I ever need to jack up my Westy to change a tire. I didn't have a jack so bought the Hi-Lift jack and this adapter just in case.

Necessity

Definitely a necessity if you plan to use a high lift with your van. Gives you a super secure jack point.
