Hey guys, this may not even warrant a write up but I haven't done one yet, so I figured this is my chance.

So firstly, you obviously need a bumper needing some hi-lift love


And a Hi-Lift jack (this should work for pretty much any jack out there, this particular one is a 15-20 year old one that was on the old bronco me and my dad used to take down to run the 250, 500, and 1000)


Also you will need to own a drill that WORKS (you have to use a wrench to tighten the bit down with this piece of crap)


I didn't take a picture of it but all I did was hold the jack up to where I wanted it (ended up being directly above the lower groove thats on the stock bumpers) and mark/drill a hole with a 1/2" bit.


For the studs, I used 1/2"x5" all thread hex head bolts, with a lock washer, washer, and a thick square concrete washer (not sure what it's called) that any hardware store should have (HD, Lowes, etc).


Heres a view of the stud from the inside of the bumper, be SURE not to drill a hole that is directly behind the frame rail (you won't be able to get the stud into the hole, the rail will block it)


Put the jack back up on the one stud, line it up as close as you can, I didnt even measure once on this, just used the lines of the bumper


This here is why I said to make sure you don't drill a hole that is behind the frame rail, we did that and couldnt get the bolt through, oh well, no biggie


Now put the jack onto both studs (I had to hammer one stud over a bit, just use a wood block if its not straight, you aren't going to hurt anything) and figure out how big of a spacer you need so that the jack doesn't contact the bumper


We were going to use either nuts or a piece of pipe to space it, but found this pipe fitting that fit PERFECTLY, so ended up using that, you can use virtually anything you want to space it.


On the other side I just used 3 nuts to space it off the bumper


Thats it there on the bumper, now before anybody says anything, I oriented it the way I did on purpose, the liftgate would not have cleared if the lift contact portion was facing up, so I did it facing down (I realize I may have clearance issues, but I'm just going to make up a skid plate out of scrap from the shop)


Rattly *** base plate got bungeed so it wouldn't make noise


Found a can of black spray paint, painted it right on there


And there you have it, cost me about 10$ in supplies for the nuts/bolts/4 concrete washer plate things


Next to come is a lock of some sort, and a skid plate for the tooth piece sticking down by the exhaust
