Default 48" or 60" HiLift?

Hey everyone, I've finished deciding that I want to get a hood mount for a HiLift.. But I don't know which size to get. I'm currently rolling a '12 w/ 35s on a 4" lift. I have future plans for 37s on 6. Which would be best? Or is the 60 possibly too big for the hood?

48" is perfect. 60" would be way to big for a good mount. It would pro ably hang over

I have a 48" on my hood. Seems to be just the right size

Thanks for the help! The pic was particularly helpful. Numbers and measuring only go so far. Actually seeing what I would be getting(basically) is awesome.

The 48" should be more than plenty.

Yup! That's what I decided on. So now I've got it waiting in my living room waiting for my jack mount to arrive very glad I bought the 48. 60 would have been a little much.

I've had both and the 48" seems to be just about right.

I wouldn't go that far.. I think the 48 is perfect, but the 60 would work very well as long as you isn't have lower windshield lights IMO.
