Having spent too much time with WD40 and a hammer trying to get a dirty
slightly rusty hi-lift to work I disagree. A cover that keeps the mud
from being kicked up into the jack, the rain from soaking the jack and
starting rust is OK in my book.
I would just as soon remove a good quality cover and start jacking then
fighting the pins for 10 or 20 minutes trying to get them to walk up &
down the post.
I use the commercial hi-lift cover. I also made a hole in the side of
the cover for my mounting pin.
For a mounting pin I use a large grade 2 bolt with the top and bottom
filed down. It is on a bracket make from a galvanized joist hanger. The
base of the jack sits in the pocket of my rear militaty bumperette.
