Jack stand bed mount options

I heard over on Facebook someone here that make or used to made some kind of bracket to mount a jack stand on bed. Like Hi-Lift jack mount.

 

I carry an old craftsman portable floor jack. Gets the truck up enough for changing a tire. Fits right behind my seat 2016 SR5

 

I mounted a unijack to my trailer using a piece of angle iron and an ammo box lock kit. It looks like this.

 

i have AAA

 

And I am sure AAA goes 30 miles deep into the middle of nowhere when that nasty rock decides to cut the sidewall of your tire (because OBVIOUSLY tire destruction cannot be blamed on the loose nut at the wheel!).

 

havent asked them too but i ususally travel in groups of atleast 2 other trucks and we are well equipped.

 

Understood. "Safety in numbers".

 

A jack STAND mount? I've not seen anything like that. I have a jack mounted in my truck using a bracket that's mounted to the floor.

 

Someone has a jack…. I think.

 

It does come with one from the factory

 

What mount do you have for your Badlands jack?

 

Barnes 4WD

 

You ever use it?

 

Didn’t think so

 

Factory bottle jack is pretty short.

 

Stock tires, stock suspension, level pavement. Looks useless off-road with dirt, even if a leveling pad of 2x10s used.

 

Hi lift jacks are the most common jack carried inside a vehicle followed by aluminum jacks

The latest trend is the Badland jack from Harbor Freight and a few companies have made "mounts" for them

If there's a jackstand "mount" I bet it was a custom one-off; why not design it and make it (or get it made)?

I can't see too many people wanting to carry jackstands in their vehicle

 

Hi-lift scares me a little. I may be as stubborn as they say, but my jaw cannot withstand an auto-pivoting hi-lift arm. Not even strong enough to replace a winch if I am alone.

 

Hi lifts are no joke; like anything recovery-related, knowing how to safely employ your equipment should be the upmost priority

It's why people carry aluminum jacks (and now the badland)

Don't blame you, I wouldn't carry a hi lift either

 

I carry 1 jack stand and a bottle jack plus a wooden baseboard for each. Beats carrying a fuckin floor jack around haha
