BEFORE YOU BEGIN

If your RockBrawler Hi-Lift Jack Mount came
as unpainted, bare steel, you will want to either
powder coat or paint the it prior to install. If
painting yourself, careful preparation will make a
big difference in the quality and longevity of your
paint job, even using “rattle can” aerosol paints.
Begin by thoroughly cleaning the bumper with
solvent or de-greaser, then make sure all residue
is removed. Even if you use cheap paint, try to
use a good quality primer. “Etching” primers are
best to use on bare, unpainted metal. Allow it to
properly dry before painting, and between paint
coats.

Note that you must already have both a
RockBrawler Rear Bumper with Tire Carrier and
a Hi-Lift jack. The Jack must have the lifting
mechanism at the bottom of its travel, with the
handle locked into place. The handle must
be secured by some mechanism such as the
urethane jack handle isolators that are available
at most 4X4 shops.

TOOLS NEEDED

• Primer, paint, cleaners (if painting)

• 9/16” end wrench, socket and ratchet

• 3/4” end wrench or socket and ratchet

(optional)

the Hi-Lift Jack Mount to the top four bolt
slots on the RockBrawler tire carrier. It may
be necessary to lower the spare tire mount
if the top four bolt slots are not available.
Thoroughly tighten all four screws/nuts.

4. Insert the two carriage bolts into the slots
at either end of the Hi-Lift Jack Mount. The
heads of the carriage bolts should be on the
spare tire side of the jack mount (toward the
rear of the Jeep, if the tire carrier is latched

shut).Makesurethe atsunder theheads

of the carriage bolts correctly engage into the

slots.Notethatitmaybeatightt,andthe

carriage bolts might not fully seat until they
are tightened in later steps.

5. Install a 1/2” Pushnut Bolt Retainer (looks
like a thin metal washer with internal “teeth”)
onto each carriage bolt, with the teeth pointed
away from the bolt head. Push the retainers
all the way against the Jack Mount Plate.

6. Install a urethane bushing on to each
carriage bolt.

9. Decide whether to use the supplied 1/2-13
wing nuts or the 1/2-13 nylon insert lock nuts.
Install the nut of your choice and securely
tighten. Note that the urethane bushing will
compress, and the carriage bolts will seat
into the slots in the mount plate as the nuts
are tightened.

NOTE: Using the wing-nuts will be more

convenient, for those who access the Jack more
frequently. However, using the lock nuts will
be more secure, providing a measure of theft

deterrent. Choose whichever method suits your
needs best.

10. Grab onto the Hi-Lift jack and test that it
is securely mounted. Further tighten any
fasteners as needed.

11. Latch the tire carrier and re-install the
spare tire.

Congratulations, you have completed installation

of your RockBrawler Hi-Lift Jack Mount!

7. With the help of a friend, lift the Hi-Lift Jack
up on to the carriage bolts, while feeding
the threaded ends of the bolts into the slots
on the lifting bar of the Hi-Lift jack. Make
sure the jack is centered in relation to the
mount, with the lifting foot of the Jack pointed
downward. Make sure the carriage bolts are
going through correctly spaced holes in the
jack’s lifting bar, so that they are straight
(perpendicular to the mount).

8. Install a 1/2” at washer on to the threads
of each carriage bolt.
