One thing most wheelers carry is a hilift jack. It seems like every time it is used the jack has a tendency to slide on the sliders and seems very unstable. I built the bracket below to help grab onto my sliders and hopefully make it more stable.
Here is the bracket.

It mounts onto the jack with a 1/2" bolt holding it to the jack.

Here is how it latches onto the sliders. Mine are 1.5" tube. I forgot to account for the weld on the back side so version two will be changed there.

Here it is lifting the truck. For the front I carry a chain to limit wheel travel so I don't have to jack so high.

Toss it in the toolbox and hopefully I will never have to test it for changing a tire.
