The only place that 60 will fit is on the tire rack, and it must be mounted

Not me. If I bought someone a 60" jack and a 48" was the ticket, I'd be
upset if they kept the one that was too long and didn't get the use out
of it I'd intended. Even worse if they hacked off the end of it. Just
exchange it!!
