Just realised the other day that my Ladder will foul on my factory jack as it bolts directly above the jack hole. 
Anyone else had this issue? 
Luckily i didn't find this out the hard way and just looking for a fix if theres a known one. 
It weird as the ladder bolts to the factory holes so ud think it would be ok.
Can post a pic
cheers

heres some pics, It looks professionally made so assume it is. Did get the whole thing (ladder and rack) for $50 from gumtree a while back so can't complain too much as it was a bargain and its in great condition.

What he said ^^^^^^
The only thing you're really missing out on is the ability to use a hi lift (with an adaptor) on one side - but you could just use it in the tow bar hitch point.

If your handy with the tools it would be an easy fix just shorten the ladder a bit and invert the bottom mounts so the pipe sits above the X member
