Aev rear swing away bumper. They make a nice bolt on bracket to hold the hi lift

You can get the one that attaches to the rear roll bar across the back.

I keep mine under the rear seat. Out of the weather and away from prying eyes.

Mine started under the back seat, and then I put it on the rear roll var with a RROR mount. Then I tried it on the hood. Just didn't like it out in the elements and it partially blocked the washer spray. Kind of sucks when your in the dirt and dust and can't get your windshield clean. The elements really do havoc to the jack too. 6 months on the hood did more wear on the jack than 3 years of use and being mounted inside. Now it's back on the river raider mount.

I would really be interested to see how you have that mounted. I'm assuming its the 48inch lift correct?

Its just under the back seat, zip tied to the seat posts. It is the 48" model. The only draw back is that you cant lower the seat with the jack underneath it.

I Would go under the back seat but my amps are under there so there probably wouldn't be any room, I think I'll go with the hood mount

Upper part of the rear roll bar. Jeeps swag has the mounts and you can remove it easily even with the hard top on. No vibration and completely out of the way. Plus there is no concern about the hi-lift out in the elements. This pic kinda shows how it's mounted.
