Dedicated slot for Hi Lift tongue

[08Silverado]

I was watching a video on youtube today about Hi Lift use. The video showed an Australian guy demonstrating the uses of the jack. The bull bumper on his rig had a dedicated slot cut into it for the Hi Lift tongue to fit into. I was wondering if any of you knew which if any American made bumpers have this feature. It looked really handy! I think it would be really easy to cut one of these into any bumper if you chose.

American made? Only i know of are ARB's and TJM, both austrailian (i think TJM is aussie made)

After a little more looking around, I see that ARB makes an attachment that works in the same manner.

The slot doesn't work nicely. The jack it too close to the bumper and it's difficult to pull out if the vehicle moves.

Rather use these:

This goes on the jack

This bolts on the truck. Or weld a tube into your bumper

A trailer hitch reciever can work too.

This has worked well for me. It can mate to my ARB bumper, my sliders and one occasion i used it on my wheel to dig it out.

The holes in this bumper were specifically made for use with a Hi-Lift. They are round so that the truck can be pushed off of the jack, and the length of the tube is set to hold the lifting hook's lip in place.
