I agree with Eddie, a bottle jack is the way to go. But the hi-lift is pretty handy once in a while. I kept mine inside my JL to keep it clean like Eddie mentioned.
I think Doubletap is referring to the mount I went with. It’s made by Dominion Off-road and is a pretty easy install. The mounting plates bolt to the roll cage with the included hardware and the fasteners are concealed by the trim. You have to cut the trim a bit to make it look clean. The jack is out of the way and doesn’t interfere with my hoist when removing the hardtop. If you’re wondering, it does stay quiet while driving on roadways. I had to put two rubber isolators on the handle and the hi-lift neoprene cover over the mechanism to keep it that way though. Hope this helps.
