Hi lift mount ideas?
i have a hi lift, and its the 60inch one, i know i know the 48 inch one would of definatly worked fine considering i only have a 2 inch lift but i got the 60 inch for some reason, and now i cant find a good place to mount it, i want it on the roof but want a good and quick way to take it on and off,

if you have the factory roof rails you can drill a hole a place a bolt with some washers and wing nut and bolt it to the rails. just throw a cable lock in it and there ya go!
or do like i did and mount it to your bumper(mines stock)

I welded some of these guys really easily to my bumper and they hold very well. i am going to put my hi lift on my roof rack soon though.

i run 2 bolts as well that are drilled out in the ends so i can put a lock thru them. They are a bit thicker than those. and no matter what bolt you get just get a grade 5 bolt and you will be good!

here is how I re mounted mine.
I use Thule Rack attachments and attach it to my roof bars:
(ignore the long bolts this was during mock up)
I can stand on the jack and it wont do anywhere.
