Default Rampage Hi-Lift Jack mount
Just mounted the Rampage mount for my Hi-Lift Jack on the back stock hinges. Question it sits really nice at the base, however the bottom of my jack is rattling like crazy. Any ideas on how to eliminate the rattle?

Thanks

I just bought this mount but haven't had the time to install it. How much trouble was it?

What is rattling at the bottom? Daystar makes an isolator for the top part/handle.

Install was very easy it is the jack itself at the base rattling. I do have the isolator for the handle. I am just looking to tighten the jack itself it rattles of the hook!

Your going to have a ton of rattle from the p.o.s bracket on top this is what I did and it worked out great even after that the hi-lift is still going to rattle somewhat even with the isolater

Question
How does this appear as regards extra weight on the tailgate hinges? I was concerned that with the weight of a Hi-Lift jack, along with the bouncing of the JK that it might cause some hinge failure.
