Schlud...here are the drawings!

Note: I can't remember how to adjust the dimensions (and too lazy to figure it out), so I appologize for the .99's and stuff. I think it will be pretty clear what the actual dimensions are suppose to be.

This first picture is a side view showing the whole new support arm and mounting that would be attached atop the tower piece that comes up from the swing arm. I intend to shorten the tower piece by 2-1/2 inches.

I only show 3 bolt holes on this, but you could do all 6 if you want. I felt the more bolts the more difficult it would be to get the fit right. The center circle is what fits through the wheel for extra support and future attachments if you want them. It's not as big as the hole that's actually in the wheel because I wanted to have room to put some rubber or soemthing on there for padding. This piece is optional and may be replaced with a square piece on mine if availability or cost of the round piece is a problem.

The blue line represents the approximate place I would cut the tower piece and the red and yellow markings represent a possible hi-lift mounting. I thought the tire might hide a good portion of it if I mount it diagonally off that support brace.

...I really like the idea of the diagonal high lift mount .

Except I don't know yet if it will fit well there. I don't actually have a hi-lift yet, so I don't know the exact dimensions of one. I'm pretty sure it will be OK though. Thanks!
