Anyone used the Hi-Lift mount on LOD?
I have a LOD signature series w/tire carrier and it is supposed to have a Hi-Lift mount. I see the two bolts that are supposed to used and it does not look like they will work for me. Has anyone else had a problem trying to use the mount? My jack is a 48" extreme if that would matter, but I think they are all the same.

i had the same problem. the bolts are just a bit off (they need to be about 1/4" closer together). but i found that the holes in the hi-lift are oval shaped and if you line up the holes at their widest points you can get the jack onto the bolts. you will end up stripping the threads from the base of the bolts, but you won't need them since the jack will be sitting on top of them. its a tight fit, but it will work. hope this helps.

We put a nut on the bolts (so the threads don't get stripped) and used a hammer to gently tap them over into place. Just needed a little nudge to line them up properly.

Thanks for the Question and the answers.
I just installed my LoD signature rear, and was wondering how to mount the highlift.
If you could post a pic, that would be great.

Well for that amount of money, something so minor should be taken care of by the manufacturer. I'm still a year or more away from the rear bumper assembly, and if this is still a problem, I'll look elsewhere. Very nice looking bumper though.

I will be looking for a rear bumper as well and I hope they fix this small problem.
