contents In this work, we perform a comprehensive investigation of the production of high-spin $ω_J$ and $ρ_J$ mesons ($J=2,3,4,5$) in $π^- p$ reactions using an effective Lagrangian approach. By constructing the relevant $t$-channel processes and calibrating the model with a single adjustable parameter fitted to existing data, we successfully reproduce the measured total and differential cross sections for the $J=3$ states $ω_3(1670)$ and $ρ_3(1690)$. Within the same framework, we predict the production cross sections for their lower- and higher-spin partners: $ω_2(1975)$, $ρ_2(1940)$, $ω_4(2250)$, $ρ_4(2230)$, $ω_5(2350)$, and $ρ_5(2350)$. Our results show that these states exhibit measurable cross sections with characteristically forward-peaked angular distributions, underscoring their strong potential for observation in future $πp$ meson-beam experiments.
