Been there done that. You can never have a jack or lift that goes too high. If there's a 72" ever made, I'm buying it.
Lifts!?!

Yeah, I usually would rather have a tool and not need it than need it and not have it. I used my dads shop to put my spring spacers in. What a difference having the right tool makes!

The stock roof rack will not fair very well if you put a load in that basket. I'd use the Yakima mounts with extensions or the Quick-N-Easy mounts modified to fit the Yakima bars.
That 5 foot Hi Lift is a heavy beast. I like the 4 foot one better, but I own the 5 footer only because I've had it for forty some years and bought it when I was young and strong/stupid.

I wasn't going to mount the basket to the stock crossbars. I was planning on using Yakima crossbars with the clamps that attach to the stock rails. I had my bike mounted in a Thule holder mounted on the stock crossbars and it was flexing side to side @4" side to side while driving! Keep in mind this is a full carbon road bike @ 17lbs!

FWIW.
I have the 33x10.5x15 BFG mud's on my 95 SR with no lift and it works great. The gearing concerns me a bit going to 35's as mine now is near the gearing limit for good DD behavior. I think its so dang cool theres a rig you can get with a factory air locker on, stuff 33's on it and go play with out stealing the kids piggy banks.:bigbossHL:
