During the installation video for the BOLT Hi-Lift Jack Mount # BL7028648, it is recommended to avoid contact with your Jeep's running board when mounting the jack. This is to prevent any damage that may occur to either the jack or the running board while sliding the jack onto the Jack Mount or when driving after everything is installed. If the foot of the jack sits too low, any slight movement could cause damage to the running boards, vehicle body, jack or jack mount over time.
