Old Library

Brian..
i had a similar problem w/ mine just this weekend when i put
the old ones from the wreck on the car. one side was way
loose.. i backed it out and found that the metal piece in
the fender kinda stripped out.
went to the hardware store and found a little black flat,
clip kinda doo dad that's got a hole in it and its cut and
bent so that a screw will thread through it. sorry for the
vauge description but i can't recall the name if it even had
one.
if you take off the splash guard there's a little plug
underneath. you can see the hole from there.. i taped the
piece to a pencil and held it up there until it threaded.
and voila.. holds great so far..
i'd also recommend not using the washers that came with it
and use some lock washers. i used the curved kind that
flatten out under pressure..
i think it holds even better now.. i also painted the top
parts upto the little seam black so the last 3/4" or so is
red. looks real spiffy..
good luck

For all that have installed the Jamex lifts, Has anyone done anything other
than the instructions in regards to the screw that goes into the fender.
I just installed mine and had no problems with the install.   I was just
wondering if there was a more secure way to mount it.(already
checked archives)   Just seems a little lose to me.

Brian,

I installed mine about a month ago and the bolts all secured snugly.  Did
you use the right washer in the right place?  Maybe you reversed the
washers?  I can look at it next time you are up here.
