Awesome!!
First off, GREAT THREAD!! This was the easiest mod I've done yet, well, besides the rear view.. When I went out to do this I had all kinds of tools with a bunch of work in mind....... All I needed was a broken hack saw blade, could have been not broken but I'm a tool hoarder, for the foam which took literally 15 seconds or less and just by eyeballing the picture that shows the cut away in the foam, a razor knife (I didn't burn the holes, just cut a small cross and poked the bolt ends through) a screwdriver to poke the holes straight through the foam and an adjustable.. I got wing nuts but only came in a package of three (didn't find that out till I went to put em on) takes a minute to tighten them up as I shook it up and down until they were tight enough & the jack didn't move!! This mod was finished so fast, I only went through a half a beer!! 
Again, great post, great instructions and thanks!
Would have posted pics but they would've looked the same! Oh by the way, I saw the electrical tape wrapped around the jack and kinda wondered why at first, alleviated the rest of the small rattles!!

This is a great thread and super, inexpensive mod. Only thing I could add is to have 2 sets of the flat clamps that go in between the u-bolts. One to secure the ubolt to the bar and one to secure the hilift. that way the u-bolt stays in place when you remove the jack. and vice versa, keeps the ubolts in place when you re-store the jack.

Great advice! Of course, from a fellow Texan. 
I couldn't see the point in trimming the foam, so I just reversed the setup, and it works like a charm! Easy mod, and everything is secure and rattle-free.
I saw Jaffadawg's suggestion for the second set of flat bars, which will be my next addition. Good stuff!
