Here's an idear <img border="0" alt="[Nerd]" title="" src="graemlins/nerd.gif" /> - when I had an ARB, and needed to mount the winch to it, I used a couple motorcycle tiedown straps run to the garage joists, one on each end, then lifted this end and hoisted the strap, lifted that end and hoisted the strap, repeat until high enough. I was able to install/deinstall with no assistance- and NO BACKACHE!

You can make little adjustments, unbolt, back the truck out of the way, work on it, and reinstall it pretty easily. Then when you release the straps you get to see how much that weight does to your front suspension! Make sure you have good straps.
