Swing out, drop down out riggers would be easy to add to the 500

I would mod the bed like the diamond T 4t I like designing this kind of stuff, just don't have the $$$$ to do the builds

I still like your concept drawing in the first post, looks like it should as a military truck should, I would stay away from the home-made look like the 5t, still think a holmes 500 or so twin boom would would look like factory

As a thought, since you said it would be HYD. powered, mount a 5t HYD. powered winch on the back of the bed, or tucked in at the boom mounts

Now you do, start building:beer:

Your twin swing booms CAN rotate over each side

With the twin boom, you swing one OPPOSITE the pull to act as a counter weight while you swing and pull with the orther The side outriggers are slide out and down to provide a outrigger type of foot., NOTE you can make these as long as needed Now the trick setup would be a TWIN BOOM/...

Depends on the lift, there is a LOT of weight on the w/w front end, will work a lot better then most small 4x4 wreckers, a holmes twin boom 550 would just about be right

That works for me, now that is a REASON to do a 4X4, if you do it, BEEF UP the rear springs
