    Make sure you mount you jack where you can access it and not have to unload all your gear while on your trips. Saves a lot headache while you're out on the trail if the jack is in your bed.

    Sorry if off topic, but I really need a jack that can do a wide range of tasks, while occupying no space.:confused: Latest least worst solution. Allows a wide range of lift heights and 3 different contact point options. Downside is 8” lift range on the jack, but I keep a farm jack in @joonbug truck.:rolleyes:

    After having a Hi-Lift come loose and break my back window, I'd encourage you to mount it parallel to the cab, not perpendicular. :anonymous:

    Lol. I bet you I can get my jack out from the bed faster than you can get yours off your rack.

    Correct and the OP was asking about mounting a jack and not a spare tire.

    o_O My post had nothing to do about the speed of removing the jack. You can time yourself all you want. My suggestion was to mount the jack somewhere that doesn't mean you have to unpack your gear :thumbsup:

    Yeah. My jack is off to one side and I don't have to unpack anything to get it out. Last time I pulled it off for Warren it took me less than a minute. And that included me going into my cooler and downing a soda too. My point, mounting it in the bed is better than mounting it on the rack. All that weight on your rack will eventually give you problems. As you saw with your tire.

    Tried it out, no field use yet. Did not buy the Safe Jack bottle jack, as there were mixed reviews on it, just the lift pieces. They are solid, rated way more than other jacking options(6 ton), and very nice imo..

    @Fiestee23 where about are you in socal? I have a mount I never used, in the box. I'll have to track it down but I'll let it go for $20 if you aren't far.

    I wouldn't mount it on the hood or on a bed cover or anything like that. I would mount it to the floor of the bed, or the inner sidewall of the bed. Those things are heavy.

    This one, I was gonna mount mine in my bed but went a different direction.

    With our farm jack?, only if I have to. :rofl: Not sure this is bad, but my truck has too much travel for the 8” lift range of the jack with 37” tires via sliders. Have to jack up by frame etc..

    Just go by the axle if you can. If it's a front tire then hope you have a black truck, they have enough power to do wheelies all the way home.

    I removed the bed rail from the front bedside, since it was useless with my tool box, and cut it to length to mount on my tool box. I used the largest hardware I could to mount and some reinforcement plates inside the tool box to hold the weight. I used the rail mounting plates from @Victory4x4 and made props out of a carriage bolt to hold the plates rigid against the box.

    I mounted mine to the front bed wall (similar to MSU Tundra above - hope that is Mississippi State University) using a 4XRAC mount from Hilift (suggested by Darkness above). My wife helped me with the bolts through the wall. It fits well, is mostly out of the way, and i have not had to use it yet. I had a similar mount on the right side of my previous F150 and the same jack ripped the mount down and out of the bed wall, so yes, they are heavy. I put this mount on the front bed wall, hoping for a little less bouncing and stress on the jack mount. Hilift jacks are best when used in odd ways, like breaking frozen/corroded wheels off of a vehicle, lifting a deer blind, pulling t posts, or .....

    Moorpark but I pass through Corona on the 15 every other weekend. If you're interested I'll find out which weekend I'm going and maybe meet up so you can check it out.

    great location to mount it...

    FWIW... a Hi-Lift should not be used for changing tires, its an extraction, clamping, and spreading tool... I would also get a safe jack for tire changing/general service and a good base that will fir both the hi-lift and the bottle jack you use.

    I carry both off road (60" hi-lift) and a safe jack. Along with enough gear to use the Hi-lift as a winch if needed.
    I prefer to carry the Hi-Lift on the rear standing straight up as close to the centerline of the truck as possible in a sturdy mount, and will be doing the same on the Tundra. or as you have it above attached to the Bedside or floor.
