RE: mounted jack in my bed
Hi Lift's are AMAZING. A total must when doing any sort of off roading, I love them! Nice even for fixing a flat on the side of the highway.
Might want to lock it up somehow, they are expensive and if its just sitting there on a hook or something somebody might snag it [&:]

is that a 48 or a 60? and how much did it run you? (total.... brackets, lock, lift)
the brackets to mount it in your bed- was that ordered at the same time? or did you make them?
that looks really good im probably going to do the same thing relatively soon; good job.

RE: mounted jack in my bed
it's a 60 inch jack. the jack was $65, and the mount kit is called the 'loc-rac' or something like that, was $20. got them from summit, also had a $20 off coupon so it wasn't bad price wise.
if you plan on doing the same setup, save yourself some time and order the clip to hold the handle onto the jack body. as you can see in the pics, the two mount brackets are too far away from each other for the handle the clamp into the lock too. summit sells a little rubber piece that slides onto the jack body and keeps the handle from rattling.
here are links for the jack, mounting kit, and the little clip for the handle.

RE: mounted jack in my bed
yeah.. those stock jacks.. about those.. i had mine nearly collapes on me while changing a tire one time. fortunatly i already had the tire on and it only dropped a couple of inches when it failed.
yeah.. don't crawl under there with that thing lifting the truck. i don't know the rating on them but with the 4x4.. i'm really wary about putting it up on that thing for more than a tire. gotta love a roommate with a floor jack meant for trucks and suv's...
