Go with the 60!!! I just had a bad brake at a weird angle on a rock, lucky one guy with us had a 60". My 48" was not tall enough. I just bought a 60" because of that. Plus everyone ends up putting on 37's!

is the 60" to long to mount on the exterior, going to mount on swing tire carrier or across the hood?

Hi Lift for sure. There are lots of knock-offs out there. These are used in bad situations most of the time. Wouldn't want to take chance on some Chinese copy taking a dump on me.

Sorry, keeping it. It's a good idea, if you are out on the trail, to use 2 if you can. Even at home... I pinned my hand against my jeep when one slid out, I was the only one around, it would have been funny if it didn't hurt like hell!
