The design is featured in post 1180 and is available from Rob.
That is utilizing the spot that the high lift jack is supposed to rest on when you jack it up from the front bumper. So as long as your left front tire never needs replaced, your good.

I also have the original hydraulic jack so all of the bases are covered.
Will the OEM jack work with a lifted cruiser and oversized tires? My experience is that lift leaf springs have so much flex that the tire will never actually raise off the ground if you go off the frame and the jack isn't tall enough if you go under the axle (bad idea anyway) or frame...Might want to carry some blocks, too

My 77 Series, along with my previous Cruisers, are part mall cruisers, part static displays (They live a very comfortable life) so the odds are in my favor. A couple of blocks might be a good idea however. : )Will the OEM jack work with a lifted cruiser and oversized tires?

I was curious so I went and grabbed my high lift jack. There is more than adequate room for it to function as required above the recovery point.That is utilizing the spot that the high lift jack is supposed to rest on when you jack it up from the front bumper.

If the high lift fits, snap a few photos for us. What's the price on one and how fast can he ship me one. I need one before cruise Moab.

There has been a significant amount of interest in Rob's recovery point design and he will be fabricating a second prototype using flat metal early next week. I'll post photos on Monday or Tuesday.

** These should work on ANY 70 Series with an ARB brush bar.
They attach only to the frame and utilize the cutouts provided by ARB. (No cutting required)

Does Rob have a strength value associated with this design? IE: at what tonnage they break/shear/bend?
I can see that bending into the ARB under a heavy side load winch-a-thon like this (in reverse of course):
