| It was time for a new design - the swing away broke & it was a pain in the ass anyway. It's not so high that it messes up my center of gravity & I can still get into the tailgate. I was able to move the Hi-Lift down onto the bumper.   | |

| Kat i'm not trying to bust your balls but you may want to lower that tire some. The higher your tire the higher your center of gravity. With those narrowed axles that you have, your COG all ready sucks with out adding more weight higher up. Just my .02 | |

| It actually isn't as high as it looks like it is. Angling it out made it so that a 38" tire only sticks up about 6 inches higher than the roof. We put one on to find the right angle. And it's ok Joe - I don't have any balls to bust.  | |

Nope - that's another project that I'll finish after BD. | |

| You should buy a 6 pack of beer and keep it on ice. You will need it to motivate someone to muscle that tire down from that mount. | |

Getting it down is the easy part...you just climb on the roof, unbolt and toss it onto the ground. But I'm always willing to compensate my peeps.  | |
