Ive got mine mounted behind my seats from wheel well to wheel well. But I dont have a back seat either.

I Just used u-bolts at the top and bottom of my spare wheel and bolt it up to my spare. It is high enough not to get dug in, but still easy to get off. I don't really consider it a permanent mount, but then again I don't carry my hilift all of the time anyway. The damn things only work half of the time when they aren't already rusty...

It's hard enough to use the d**n things when they're clean, lubricated & not rusty so I put mine inside.  I have it behind the back seat with the base off, one end on the floor, one end on the tire well with a piece of foam to keep it from rubbing on the Jeep, and tied down to the factory cleats that are on the floor.  It's been like that for over two years & hasn't moved or caused a problem.
