First post has also been updated with all recent mods and new photos.
Yesterday, I added hi-lift and shovel mount to the passenger's side of the new rack, and re-installed the rear-facing lights (I finally finished fabricating the new rear light-bar/strobe light mount). I'm still waiting for my new side-facing lights to arrive from China.
The hi-lift mount is actually made by Baja Racks for their 6" tall rack. It fits the Insain rack perfectly if you cut away a small amount of the expanded metal flooring where the bottom part of the brackets go. The brackets stick off of the side of the vehicle a few inches, which gave me just enough room to mount quick fists to the top of them to hold the shovel:
