Default What mount for hi-lift xtreme?

I bought a 48" hi-lift extreme a couple of months ago and its just sitting in the garage. Id like to get it mounted somewhere but Im not sure what the best options are. Its an awfully heavy jack (idk if the non extreme versions are too) so I was curious as to whether or not most normal mounts would work for it.

Take your pick. I have the hi-lift hood mount with a 48" jack. Works for my needs. The paint on the mounts has faded over the years, but other then that no complaints. There are many options out there. Most of these are made to handle a 60" jack except the in jeep cabin mount.

I wasnt sure if the normal mounts would work for the xtreme hi-lift. If they do than I will just dig up that thread with everyone posting their setups and look through it again. Thanks!

Basically the same jack with a different finish, so yes all your "standard" hi lift mounts will work.

Get rid of it and get a bottle jack, unless you just want to fit in at the mall. Then to each his own.

Ha. I'm far from a mall crawler, but It's there if I need it. The handle alone can be used for many purposes. Have fun sinking that bottle jack in the mud. lol.
