I almost did, but thankfully looked at where they would go first. The stab jacks are in the way, so no matter what I would have had to remove them, and do some cutting to make those work.
Also, raising the bumper would be an option. I have my spare bolted to it and I had bounced it on a gas station drive so now its bent upwards. Now that I think about ti, that would make it more secure too. I would cut the part that bolts to the frame to be like a shelf bracket, and angle weld both the face and bottom to the tube.
Even though it is 8' wide, I have limited room in order to mount the genny, the water heater is back there, and so is the roof ladder, the black tank flush and the license plate, so I have to fit it between the flush fitting and WH panel. I may see if I can find a right angle water adapter for the flush fitting and secure a short hose to it, then I will have the room needed, since I would also like to put my hitch mounted storage box back there, or maybe bike carrier if we go the bike route at some point.
