Materials
Everything but the knobs are available at Home Depot.

2 - 1/2"-13 stainless steel nuts
2 - 1/2"-13 4 prong knob. You could substitute wing nuts but this looks cleaner.

2 - 1/2" X 2" stainless steel fender washers
2 - 1/2" X 2" rubber washers
2 - 1/2"ID spacers, cut to size so the hi-lift does not rest on the bumper
Have someone hold the Hi-Lift in the final position that you want it mounted and mark 2 holes. Drill a 1/2" hole and square it off with a dremmel cutting bit or similar. The square base of the carriage bolt should fit snug.
Place the bolt through the hole and then fit the rubber washer, steel washer, spacer and tighten the nut until the bolt is secure.
Hi-lift rests on the nuts
. Tighten the knob and your done. Very secure, no wiggle at all. I'm going to leave it on and make sure it doesn't loosen up but I think it will stay tight. Long term report in a few weeks.
