ideas for mounting hi lift jack to rear?
I have way too much weight upfront, and anything i can do to move weight to the rear of the 712 is appreciated. Do any of you have your hilift mounted to the rear? Can you show me how you mounted it?

Looks like Bruce's 710M,
I saw this tail gate in action, really solid (of course) and 4 Jerry cans to boot.
Although I think he was sporting 2 Jerry cans that day

Re: ideas for mounting hi lift jack to rear?
Jan had a good mounting solution that put the bulk of the weight towards the rear and kept it out of sight too!
I think you could spin it and have it towards the rear roll bar vs the front one

hmm, even better. Off set other items on the opposite side, and good to go

Re: ideas for mounting hi lift jack to rear?
Actually, the way mine is mounted, I believe most of the weight is still in front of the truck's midpoint... But you have plenty of room in your 712m to install something similar at the very back of the truck, as TechMOGogy suggested.TechMOGogy wrote:Jan had a good mounting solution that put the bulk of the weight towards the rear and kept it out of sight too!

Between the hi-lift, locked storage against the bulkhead full with recovery stuff (including a pull-pal) and my front winch, my truck is front-heavy and starts to look like it...

Mine too. I still can't find anyone who has had front spring spacers deminsions to build a set to level mine out. When I get a set built, I will make a few extras.
