I bought a home-made Hi-lift jack holder on e-bay for about $15. It slips into the receiver hitch. I used it for a while, but since I put on a bumper/tire carrier, I secure my jack there.

The receiver hitch jack carrier is inexpensive and does the job, but I didn't like that my jack was hanging down so low below the rear bumper - very dusty and susceptible to rock damage.

That said, if anyone wants it, I'd be happy to give you my used one for the shipping cost only.

I know this wont solve your problem unless you already have an ARB Winch Bar but my Jack and Mount cost less than $50 total.

Jack was $44.95 and the 2 bolts 4 washers and 2 wing nuts cost $3 total.

I have the rampage, Installed very easy, rattled alot but I controlled that with some velcro straps. I have been on the trail one time since. it did really well. Given i't location close to the hinges, i don't think the extra weight will be a problem but only time will tell.

I drilled through the top of the front tow hooks, then bolted it on. Works great still able to be towed out by the tow hooks, although that hasn't happened yet. No rattle or if it does I don't hear it.

I ordered one too. I figured with free shipping and the tap for the roll bar, it works out about the same as any other one Ive seen.
