Hi lift jacking sizes

Ive nearly finished making a custom rear bumper for my disco, before i paint it i want to weld on a pair of high lift jacking tubes to it, although i dont have a jack yet! What i need to know it what diameter tube is needed and how long should the tube be for the pin adaptor on a hi lift

i was lucky....my swingaway carrier came with a hilift jacking plate and bracket,maybe you could do summit similar

dont think i explained that very well, i dont mean i want to mount the jack on the vehicle, i want to know the dimensions of the holes in the bumper the jack fits into when you want to jack it up

They all had a flat nose. That's an extra what ya get for em so it'll fit in the jacking holes in chassis & Rear crossmember :doh:

I'll measure it tomorrow when it's light enough ..

The jack adapter's rod is 1 1/8" or 30mm.
