Default Rear Jack

Anyone have any ideas on strapping down the jack stand in the back of the jeep. Its fully extended but still seems to clunk against the frame when going over bumps? I dont wanna take it out of my Jeep just want to prevent the noise. Thanks!

That is what I did even though I didn't have the rattle.

It might not be the jack. It might be the dreaded door clunk where the gate moves slightly up and down over bumps. I don't remeber where the post was around here but someone fixed it by putting electrical tape around the silver beer bottle opener thingy the gate locks onto. (Sorry I have no idea what the part is called)

I found that if you spin the jack mechanism so the sides go out a bit it will snug up tightly. Found this out the hard way the first time I tried to remove the jack.
