Lever adapter for use with jack and lifting devices

A method of using a lever adapter device with a HI-LIFT jack when lifting a vehicle or a heavy object, the method comprising:

• (a) adjusting a positioning of a first support leg with respect to a second support leg disposed on the lever adapter device in a desired arrangement, wherein the first support leg and a second support leg are elongated members, the lever adapter device further comprising a first foot connected to a distal end of the first support leg, a second foot connected to a distal end of the second support leg, one or more hinges that connect to the first support leg and the second support leg, and a jack attachment piece connectable to the one or more hinges, wherein the first support leg and the second support leg are configured to moveable with respect to each other, wherein the first support leg and the second support leg are connectably joined together by the one or more hinges;
• (b) securing the lever adapter device to the HI-LIFT jack;
• (c) positioning the first support leg and the second support leg of the lever adapter device beneath the vehicle or the heavy object such that the first support leg and the second support leg are perpendicular to an underside of the vehicle or heavy object, and a bottom surface of the first support leg and a bottom surface of the second support leg is contacting a ground surface;
• (d) upon positioning the first support leg and the second support leg beneath the underside of the vehicle or the heavy object, engaging a handle of the HI-LIFT jack to raise the vehicle or the heavy object to a desired height, wherein the HI-LIFT jack is securely coupled to the lever adapter device, and wherein the HI-LIFT jack is located proximate to the vehicle or the heavy object and to the first and second support leg of the lever adapter device;
• (e) responsive to raising the vehicle or the heavy object to the desired height, supporting the underside of the vehicle or the heavy object with a top surface of the first support leg and a top surface of the second support leg, wherein the top surfaces of the first support leg and the second support leg make physical contact with a portion of the underside of the vehicle;
• (f) upon reaching the desired height of the vehicle, placing lift supports in place under a lifted side of the vehicle or the heavy object;
• and
• (g) lowering the vehicle or the heavy object onto the lift supports by engaging the handle of the HI-LIFT jack to lower the vehicle or the heavy object.
