Mounting Hi-Lift jack and ramps on spare tire carrier

[Michael Baker]

I my case I think the departure angle is defined by the exhaust tips, and therefore I do not belive it has been affected.

Nice job. Did you fab that up? Any more info/ pics on the ramps?

Nice ride btw.

The ramps I bought from:

I had to shorten them by a couple of inches to make them fit, and I painted them black so that they blended into the tire carrier etc.

The blocks were custom made, and drilled to accept the Hi-Lift with two bolts and four guides. I also changed the mechanism that makes sure that the tire carrier does not open, as I felt that it might not be able to manage the extra weight.

Come on Rox. The 3'ers should have thick enough skin by now. Besides, I still have a H3.
