High lift mount too tall
So I got the high lift mount for Christmas. Put it on and put my high lift on. Went to the airport for a work trip and barely was able to get in and out of the parking garage. I scrapped the ceiling by about 1/32 of an inch. I got seriously lucky I didn't rip my tailgate off.
That being said. I am thinking I can re-drill the mounting plate and gain a couple of inches by moving it down on the tailgate hinge. Has anyone else done this?
That will put my high lift barely over my top, and should clear almost any place I go.

I had a 48" that was sticking up too tall. I just cut off a few inches to make it slightly lower than the roofline. Not a big deal to hack it off, just hit the end with rustoleum like was already mentioned. Or get a 42" jack.

garage
No such thing as a standard height house garage...
older homes were often 6' some 6' 6", most 'modern' homes are 7', however you can build anything you like
I'm surprised no one has just made some brackets that would attach jeep side, then have bolts like 3-5" lower on the high-lift side...

So since the time i have had this carrier ive always noticed the tire would shake when i shut the gate. today i noticed it bouncing and shaking a little more in my rear view as i was going down the high way
What's the deal? Teraflex designs a super awesome hinge then they come up with this pos mount

Today a loud squeaking/screech noise came from the back, i opened the gate and shut it to find the noise coming from the carrier. This time the mounting piece of the adjustable carrier is cracked.
What do these things go for used? there might be one on the market shortly.

just out of curiosity, did you have your tire tight against the rubber stops?
