Creative ways to mount a 60\" High lift?

Just wondering if anyone has devised a way? I'm thinking about running it along the side of my truck...

I have thought of building a piece of tubing that would fit over the beam of my high lift making it longer if or when nesarry this may be an idea insted of carring a 60 incher

In my experiance they are getting to be unsafe at 48" (Tippy)carry a ratchet strap and tie the axle to the frame if you need to change a wheel/lift it up. ALOT safer that way in my mind. If you want a 60" just don't jack up the truck around me.

You may want dedicated jack points with ridges welded in so it will not slip out from the bumpers/rockrails. I need to do that to the ww3.

I saw one (60"er) mounted diagonally on the b-hoop.

highlifts are the devil!

Everytime I have to use a 48" one I am scared it is going to fall over on me. Come to think of it, it has.....

The most creative way I can think of is

Sell IT
and buy a 48" LOL

Get brave here fellas... It doesn't need to get max'd out. Granted 5' is a lot, but not that bad. If it is used smart it's okay.

No need to sell then. I'll hang on to my near new (used maybe 3 times) 48". I was thinking this would be a necessity with YJ's. But I'll go the ratchet route like Glenn suggested.

FYI You can just buy the new parts to make ANY lenght Hilift
Direct from the company. quick shipping and good prices. I think it was 20.00 or so for a replacment after I bent the
tower on mine. (Don't ask.) I bought a 36" first (Brain dump and then reordered a 60" (Over kill) and just cut it down to
48" after I woke up.

I had the same sort of "Issues" with M/L so I had the epithiny about the strap.. Duh.
