Hi-Lift rack mounts?

Hey guys, thanks to Mark I now have a Hi-lift Jack and am in need of some mounts to put it up on the stock rack. Was wondering what you all recommend? The only ones I have heard of are Demello, FourTreks, and maybe Bozly????

Yeppers !! That is them!

Those worked out great for years and I never had a problem with them.. Plus they were a great deal for the price..

Thanks for posting the ebay link.. I forgot they were a ebay buy..

Nice find guys! So, how is the spacing of the jack and the roof if you just have the tube clamp and a Stud to mount? I noticed the FourTreks has an extension from the clamp for more clearence... Id love to go the cheap rout and make my own! No point in paying more than what I did for my jack. I'm probably going to mount my jack on the back if that helps at all.

I used all stainless steel hardware on mine. I had to use a bolt and cut off the head since i couldn't find a stainless steel stud in the right length and size for this. the only standoff from the clamp is a stainless steel nut. I also replaced the socket head cap screws that hold the clamp on with stainless. I have seen a couple pix of guys with these clamps and the original screws and they are all rusted. The lock is simply a 1/2 trailer received pin/lock. I cut one end off and used a die and threaded it to fit into the clamp. i then locked it in with red locktite. You will need a die to clean out the threads on the bolts after you cut the heads off too.

Everyone gave some great options. All of which will work very well.
I went with the Hi Lift Jack Mounts by Hi Lift. They are not quite as refined as some of the other options but as I recall cost about 30 bucks. I got mine from ORW but sure other sources abound.
