WK2 Front Jack Point

[JustDandy]

I have a 2015 JGC Limited with the Chief Lower Guard and sump protector. I also have the RRO lift and level kit and I put 275s G2s on it, so I got a hi-lift to make sure I’d be able to change a tire if need be, etc. My problem is finding a point to put the hilift onto to use. It’s sketchy (I think) but I have the Factor55 Hitchlink and shackle on back and I’ve seen people lift it from those. Just gives me the heebie jeebies.

The front is a different issue - either way, the jack would cut into my body panels if using the regular jack points. So, short of sliders I guess I’m wondering if anyone has any ideas on what they’ve seen or done. I appreciate it in advance. Here are some random glory shots of Pig. Thanks again!

There’s an accessory that hangs over the tounge of the hi lift and fit into your wheels. Good for lifting to stack rocks, sand rails, or general recovery, but not so good for changing a tire

Thanks for the reply! I actually have that and it is good for all of those things minus the tire change. Someone suggested you could lift the one side high enough to get the other side (affected tire side) in the air. That made me worried haha.

Ya know if you just need to raise one wheel a better way might be to use the Hi-Lift lift mate and carry a block of wood that is 2 or 3 inches taller than the under side of the wishbones or rear axle, once you have it high enough slide the block under there and then lower the jack, A nice 8" round log cut for the fire indoors works a treat,

hope that helps.

It may work better with a good bottle jack to lift the vehicle. Then there should be no bumper/body damage.

I'm having a hard time finding a bottle jack short enough to fit under the axle and still have enough lift to get the truck high enough to put a good tire on....Hi lift with the mate and jack stands work best for me.

I know this is old, but Mopar makes a jack base for Jeep bottle jacks. Should fit the bill.
That being said, the log or boards would do the same thing.
