Hi-Lift jack carrier I had made for me for the front or rear 2 inch receiver:

I have it mounted right between the frame rails. I have a Body lift so the bumper sits up a little higher than the fram so it worked out perfect. I'll try getting pics of it on the truck tonight

what weezl said x2 !!!
and i do like that front hitch you made. i have a front brush guard and not sure how well something like that would mount up really. would love to ditch the chrome front bumper for something more substantial with a hitch.

ps. if you decide to make a couple more of those front hitches, pm me with a price and shipping to zip 55720 !!!

You mention that your mount that you bought on Ebay was a reese hitch. Do you happen to know the part number?

Hey, Bro. I saw the box last month before I put it out in the recycle bin. I think it is part # 65024.
