Trail Jack Wanted

[Alphalegionaire]

Anyone have any feedback/experience on buying trail jacks? I would prefer not to mount on hood so I was looking at bumper mount version. In addition, I was considering (if needed) exchanging tailgate spare tire holder due to increased size tires and bolt on tire jack. i viewed the following items: 1. Smittybuilt New tire carrier: https://www.extremeterrain.com/smittybi ... -0717.html
2. Smittybuilt Tire Jack bolt on: https://www.extremeterrain.com/smittybi ... 717jk.html
3. RedRock 42" Recovery Jack https://www.extremeterrain.com/redrock- ... 03266.html ( too small/ok?) I liked the smaller jack so it won't be higher than the roof line of the jeep (when i inevitable forget about the clearance)

Please provide any feedback on these items or refer me to other/better items. Thanks in advance!

Thank you,
christian Flores

I would be interested in how you like it, I did this combo on my JL and am pretty happy with it all, except for needing to finagle longer fasters because the hinge upgrade is too think to use the supplied hardware for the hi lift mount:

I'm going o be Selling my High Lift 48" jack if you're interested...
I also have a tailgate mount for it that uses the OEM bolts on the tailgate.

The jack and mount have been on the Jeep for about 1.5 years, Never had to use it though. Only moving a different direction because they no longer fit on my Tailgate because of the new 38"s on the Jeep. The spare pushes on the jack mount.

I'm moving to a 911 Motorsports conversion to a Harbor Freight 2.5 ton jack to make it like a Pro Eagle Offroad jack For SIGNIFICANTLY less money...

PS> just read the second post and realized you already ordered

I found that an outside mount, hood in my case, made the jack rust quickly. I now mount mine attach to the rear sport cage. Somebody makes a bracket and it bolts right up. 48" only though...
