Ya mines a 60"

I'm just gonna mount it to the rear bumper horizonally for now.

When I have time to make some brakets, I'll do it vertically.

My Hi Lift won't lift my truck from the front, back, or nerfs.  I either lift from the bead lock ring on my rim, or directly off the axle housing.

I value my Hi lift more than my winch and I use it far more often!

Your situation for a Suzuki is a LOT different than the rest of us here on the list. Hell, a conv 't could probably park under the belly and those axles...... :o  Your use of a hi-lift is a fine example using the beadlock as it has a raised lip. If you didn't have the beadlocks (do you really need them on your weight?) would you have a hi-lift?

A hi-lift is a good tool for what it does. Don't forget, it could also be used as a winch. Just make sure you use rigid lines rather than a snatch strap where it'll stretch to a point.

Will it be wider than the body? Could you mount it horizontally to the tailgate under the spare? You could always as a spacer to the spare to get more room.

Heather I was on your web site lookin around and I have a question about that front skid plate. The one that goes from the bumper to the front diff. Did that come with the bumper or did you make it? If you made what did you use and where exactly does it attach? I am lookin for somthin like that to run on mine, I have the same bumper. Thanks and keep us informed if you go SAS.

At 1.5psi you need beadlocks regardless of vehicle weight.

All of my previous zuks had 38" and bigger tires with long travel suspension, and I have always used my high lift off of the rim with or without beadlocks.

Lots of people worry about scratching the rim (chrome or aluminum), If I was really worried about that , I would quit wheeling and buy a lowered honda :o

Heathers jack mount is a modified Hi Lift Bed mount for using the Hi Lift jack mounted to the side of the bed of a pickup. You can get one through you rlocal truck supplier that deals with Hi Lift jacks. I know, cause I work on her truck and have wheeled with her for years. I've been responsible for her building the snot out of her truck....hehe!

....

Which bumper? The Calmini Winch or the Procomp Prerunner?

The part that is attached currently with the Calmini bumper came with the 3" lift brackets that you can buy from them. Those lift brackets will bring the bumper to body height (seamlessly) if you have a 3" body lift, and that heavy black metal skid that comes with it is a nice addition!

The Procomp Bumper was something we bought about 2 years ago from Procomp directly for about 90$ while they were discontinuing them.

About the SAS..

Oh yes.

I will.

;D
