Securely Installing Pro Eagle Jacks - Know How to Mount the Jack and Save Money with a Black Friday Sale
Pro Eagle Jacks are heavy-duty jacks designed to lift a corner section of the truck. They come in 2-ton and 3-ton sizes, with an optional jack mount. The mounting bracket for this jack is available at Pro Eagle, but it is unclear how it is mounted to the bed or gear box tunnel. It is important to know if the jack mount is secured to the Built Right panel, as the jack is obnoxiously heavy. One user called Built Right and was told that the weight of the jack cannot be held securely over time. As an alternative, they suggested the 2-ton should be more than enough to lift a corner section of the truck. The first picture shows that the jack and mount would obstruct opening of the spare compartment's lid, suggesting it is not fixed to the bed's floor and likely mounted to the BuiltRight molle, which is not a good idea as BR's molle grid is mounted to factory mounting points for the bed bulkhead trim, not meant for heavy load. The second picture shows that if they drilled and bolted the jack mount to the gear tunnel floor, there is a bundle of wires and cables directly under the PRO EAGLE logo on the jack in the gear tunnel on the passenger side of the Rivian. To save money, Pro Eagle has a Black Friday sale offering 20% off their jacks. It is important to know how the jack mount is secured before purchasing one.
