Just picked up a 48" hi lift jack with mounting brackets from 4wheel parts and the guy gave me a free daystar handle holder. How about some pics of where you guys mount your jacks. Thanks.

There are some options in those pics, you could just mount it to the front bumper.

Here's how I have mine. I need to extend the "pushers" a little to clear the jack if I have to push someone. The brackets can be bought. I got mine from a buddy of mine and don't know where he got them.

Nope, but I will try to get some.
I made it out of a door hinge, 1 body lift bed spacer, and some scrap steel. Total cost = $0

Those brackets are made by Con-Ferr. They went out of business and Off-Road Unlimited picked up some of their line. I haven't seen them out yet, so e-Bay is the only way I know. That's where I got mine. I'm trying to figure out where to put my brackets in the bed. I have a 60" X-treme to mount. Glad this post came up!
Post them pics!
Happy New Year!

I might mount the jack on one of the wheel wells in the back, kinda where the stock spare tire bracket is. I wanted to mount it on the front bumper, but I don't think it will work with the brackets I have.
where's that pic of the yellow superduty with it frenched into the bed?

budget mount
Due to the massive amount of salt the State O' Maine puts on the roads I mount mine inside the truck as well. My mounting system cost $0.00. I'm going to replace the 16ga straps with 0.125x1in bar eventually though. But it works quite well as-is:

60" highlift
Never had any complaints from passengers riding in the back seat. Personally i don't like storing it outside. It gets crapped up and hard to operate. I know one guy that has his mounted on the front bumper and he can't even get it off now.

new jack, eh loafer 
?? i like where loafer has his mounted, pretty close to what ill do to mine. if you still have all your interior panels and stuff you can pretty easily do a little fab to make mounts that stick out farther and look really good, too.

What is the base of the hi-lift attached/restrained by??
I got the little kit from highlift that includes the locking portion and a hanger tab for one of the holes in the base. This is a pic of the kit:
AND to all you haters, I've used this jack 3 or 4 times for recovery.
This is just an example of how nice it can stay if you store it in a good location!

That's the kit I used but welded to my roll bar.mrk5 said:I got the little kit from highlift that includes the locking portion and a hanger tab for one of the holes in the base. This is a pic of the kit:
