So I have a hi lift jack that I used for my JKUR that I’ve of courses moved over to the JLUR. I have a 3” lift and 35” tires so in my opinion having a high lift jack is non-negotiable especially on the trail. However my JK had aftermarket steel bumpers that I could use as lifting points without issue. Now I have the OEM steel bumpers which definitely aren’t sturdy enough to use as lifting points. I’m also a little suspect about using the stock rock rails. Anyone know of the best way to lift a JLUR that sports OEM rails and bumpers with a Hi-Lift Jack (and not damage something).

If you already have the lift, then The HiLift PROBABLY WON'T work on the front bumper, but

I use my trailer hitch (rear) if I have to use the HiLift for anything other than tire work--

For any tire work I use ELECTRIC JACKS for all four corners-

If I have to use the HiLift on the back for (hi ctr--snow--slider on rocks), it's TRAILER HITCH, if front I use The HiLift WHEEL LIFT ATTACHMENT--

After a lift, use of the HiLift Jack becomes more challenging-

Good luck

I’ve seen the wheel lift attachments but if your lifting to Change a tire then attaching to the wheel seems counter productive or are you lifting the opposite wheel?
