That is awesome!!! I am def gonna add this to my list!! Did you consider using wing nuts? it would not require you to use a wrench when removing the jack just your fingers....just a thought!! great write up... thanks for sharing.

Thought about it, and it definitely is a good idea, I just wanted that sucker on right, no wiggle room. I'm sure the wing nuts will work just aw well.

Considered wing nuts but decided against it because of how much tighter if can be attached. I always carry tools with me so I'm not worried about not having a wrench. I can hang from the hi-ift and it doesn't budge, Plus I have some plans to rig up something to hang from it for more storage or for more tool mounts.

Just finished my install a few mins ago. I'm so happy that its up and out of the way, much better than being on the tailgate upright so u can't pull into the garage. Awesome write-up but I had to go to Lowe's cuz home depot only had 1 u-bolt.
