That is darn near identical to what I have set up. Though I like how you mounted the base of the jack to the rear better.

In my setup I have a bolt mounted like you have on the center stake pocket and the rear. But I have to remove the base plate of the jack each time to mount mine up and attach the base everytime I want to use it. I used a big wing nut and a threaded handle (you know, you find this stuff in the pail of nuts and bolts you always have!) on the bolts instead of the cotter pin.

I have a bungee cord from the top of the handle down to the jack part to keep the handle from falling out.

Me thinks I will tweak my setup to match yours this spring.

Thanks for the scoop!
