About this product
A Hi-Lift jack is 12.5 kg of steel a metre and a bit long. Inside a vehicle it takes up room you do not have, slides around on rough roads, and in a hard stop or a roll it becomes genuinely dangerous. The sensible place for it is on the outside, and this is the bracket that puts it there.
It is heavy-gauge steel with a black powder coat matching the Front Runner rack finish, and it bolts to the side rails of a Slimline II tray. Front Runner are specific about that: the jack should be mounted on the sides of the rack, not on the front or the rear. It fits all sizes of Hi-Lift jack, so whichever length you own, it will hold it.
The bracket comes as a complete kit – a base bracket, two support brackets, a handle clamp assembly, a tie down ring and the full set of bolts, washers, nyloc nuts and nut caps. The handle clamp matters: it holds the jack handle down separately so it does not rattle or work loose over corrugations.
There is provision for a small wire lock, which is worth fitting. A recognisable jack on the outside of a parked vehicle is an obvious thing to walk off with. Note that this bracket is not compatible with the Slimsport rack kit range.
