Default Or-fab tire carrier and highlift

I'm sold on or-fab's tire carrier, everything I need to prepare for 34's. Don't think I will ever need extra fuel so I'm going for the standard model. My question is will a highlift mount to or-fab's non can tire carrier? Or-fab's website says the bolt holes are there but it looks close. Pictures would be great! Also any install tips are appreciated. Thanks.

You'll have plenty of room to mount your Hi-lift jack. I had the tire only carrier for years, but now the the RotoPax version. I'm too lame to figure out how to post a picture right now, hopefullly some else can help me out.

Thanks for the input! I have a bunch of install threads saved, reading them over and over. Scares me to drill in the body.

I really like the rotopax but for over 200 bucks more having trouble justifying. Still might get the rotopax. They have a dry storage bin that would be handy. Not very large though. Anyone have experience with the rotopax dry container? I wonder if it will hold a 3" wide tow strap.

Thanks for that pic. This is going to be my tire carrier and I have wondered how much room there was for the Jack.

On a side note it is nice to see a Hi-Lift in a picture that looks like it has actually been used. Far to many on here are to red and shiny.

I have had mine for almost a year and this thing is tough! No problems at all!
