Is it possible, or safe to lift the rear of a Discovery by the receiver hitch? I'm having an ARB bumper mounted on the front of my Discovery so I will at least be able to lift the front of the vehicle if need be but how do I lift the back? With the cheesy stock bumper in the back I don't see a way to do it unless I lift the vehicle by the hitch. Is there something made that fits into the hitch that attatches to a hi lift? Thanks

Yes, there is an attachment for the hitch and the hi-lift.

You can just use the shackle that most people have. Here's a pic: http://www.discoweb.org/mikerupp/C4.jpg.

Be careful when jacking up from the hitch. You should probably block the front tires & lock the cdl so the car wont fall over to one side. Don't ask me how I know.
