High up on the roll bar?
I thought from the images on the River Raider website that the hi-lift mount fit farther down on the roll bar - like closer to the top of the tailgate? Did you just install it higher up?

Yes he did, you can install it in the lower bosses or the uppers if you dont have a soft top on.

thats why i love this site no one yelled at me but the "i cant see shit" ray charles is hilarious.... thanx for getting bored and going to my photobucket page and posting the pics.... i opted for the upper bosses because of my duster deck cover and i dont mind the limited view anyway you can still see out the rearview...the beauty of this bracketry is i tapped both the upper and lower so if i ever need to move it to the lower bosses just unscrew the bolts... i did'nt put loc-tite on the mounting bolts and drove around for the day and i did'nt hear it once, maybe just the jack handle a lil bit now n then but very minor...the tap provided is a "IRWIN" 1/2"-13nc high carbonsteel plug tap.

I still pop on here every now and then. I still haven't decided if I'm going to go with the RR bracket or the one I made that mounts it right behind the rear seats. Still have to check to see if the Hi-lift will clear my Mopar trunk when it's mounted on the lower brackets.
