Loc Rac Owners Please Read (Pics)
Well I just installed my high lift jack in the bed of the truck, along the passenger side above the wheel well. I used the LocRac that Hi-Lift makes and I think it turned out pretty well...
The problem is when I hit huge bumps or really bumpy roads, the jack comes out of the smaller bracket. You can see in the photo the small bracket the holds the base of the jack from falling but does nothing to keep it from moving upward.
Maybe I installed it wrong, as the package came with no instructions. How are you guys keeping your high lift secure?
I can get pics of my install if I need too.

Also, you're not using a real HiLift jack. Your holes are not the same as the ones on the base of the HiLift.
When the jack is mounted, as Chad indicated, the tab goes into a tapered hole that results in the jack being "locked" in place.
I'm not sure you're going to get it to work right with the imitation jack.

Im not going to try and quote all of you all cause you are all right!
Yes its from tractor supply, went back outside and the holes are too small.
When i do that the handle is separated from the (holy part?)lol. Resulting in the handle rattling.
Yes they(crooks) could actually just lift the base off and slide it out but im counting on most people will see the lock on there and leave well enough alone.
Dang you guys are quick to solve problems, i posted on TRS at the same time and have not gotten one reply. I appreciate all your help!

edit: also you should have the jack go through the stud and then screw it down and lock it.
