BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Note that you must already have a Poison Spyder Tire
Carrier that is designed with built-in mounting holes
for a Hi-Lift Jack (such as the Body-Mounted Tire
Carrier). You must also have a Hi-Lift jack with the
handle locked into place.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Park the Jeep on a flat, level surface and set the
parking brake.
2. Remove the spare tire from the tire carrier, if present.
3. If installing on the Poison Spyder Body Mounted
Tire Carrier, note that there are two possible mounting
positions. Choose to mount the jack either vertically, next
to the hinge on the passenger side, or horizontally over the
top of the Rotopax mounts on the top bar across the back
of the carrier. Note that in each location there are two
square holes laser-cut into the steel plate of the tire carrier.
4. Insert the two carriage bolts into the square holes
in the tire carrier. The heads of the carriage bolts should
be on the spare tire side of the mounting plate(s), with the
threads pointed away from the tire. Make sure the flats
under the heads of the carriage bolts correctly engage into
the slots. Note that it may be a tight fit, 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.
7. 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 (if mounting the jack horizontally).
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 second urethane bushing followed by a
1/2” flat washer on to the threads of 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. Re-install the spare tire. It may be necessary to re-
adjust the tire carrier to compensate from any additional
deflection due to the weight of the jack. Follow the
instructions that came with the tire carrier for making these
adjustments.
