Default 60" Hi Lift on ARB front bumper?

I'm looking to buy a 60" hi lift soon. From what I have been reading its a PITA to store. I have a ARB front bumper with the tabs on the upper end of the bull bar(this is supposed to be a Hi lift mount).

Here is my question: Do you guys think that the 60" Hi lift is too long to mount there?

If not, any suggestions to go about it?

Thanks!

The only reasonable place I found for a 60" hi-lift was on my rear bumper above the hitch, secured using hi-lift tube mounts.

Thanks, but that won't work for me since I have a ARB rear bumper.

I mounted mying on my ARB Front Deluxe Bumper using the tabs for driving lights. Very easy to make the spacers and Jack fits just fine....



And here is a close-up....

I would mount it up and see what it looks like since the mounts already there

Thanks for the great pics Boots!! Looks like you have a 48" hi lift. I think 60" might be too long. I wonder if I can get away with using a 48" Considering the amount of lift I have.

JK Gaby has a 60" I think I'll have to give him a call and see when he can lend me his hi lift to see if it will fit there

I have the same bumper w/a 48"mounted. I measured for a 60" once (after I already had my 48") and it seems the Jeep is a tad over 60" across the front so I don't see why it wouldn't fit, umless you're worried about it getting hung up on brush, etc..

Exactly how did you make those spacers? I'm just using some big rubber washers right now.
