As such, a proportionate extension of both PTO shaft and toplink must be expected.

Looks like the one in the avitar puts the hook ABOVE them normal attach point instead of behind. So, you may not have to add length, you will loose some functionality of your lift, your ground engaging attachments will loose a couple inches of depth.

There is just no way to add a quick attach of any sort to the factory lift arms and NOT alter some aspect of the lift. It is physically impossible. The only way to get quick attach hooks and not change any aspect of the hitch would be to cut the ends off the arms and place the hook so that it is in the same place the original eye was.
