I think PureJeep's shackle mounts might bolt on:

I would think you could because the holes are the ones that all the bumpers mount to.

Hey, I did this mod (have yet to cut and grind, but removed the awful plastic cover ) and it turned out great. Question, I left my crush cans on and mounted my Hi-Lift jack to them. I know they're welded on, but do you think these are strong enough to hold the Hi-Lift full-time?

Thanks,
Eric
