I've been unavoidably detained lately and missed this thread.
Ken, did you mark your holes on the Hi-Lift so that you don't have to guess which ones to line back up with the bolts?
I considered one of these
Jack Guards if I were to do a rack or maybe try to make it work on the front or rear.
But, I'll probably have an X-Jack by our next trip to use instead of the Hi-lift. Besides I broke the little switch release thingy on mine.
