Hi lift & lift mate advice?
Got a hi lift jack and a stock JKUR with Smittybilt XRC rock rails. Not sure of where to jack on the vehicle w/out dammaging it. Wondering if its safe to jack against the tube on the rock rails, or will I start ripping it loose underneath? Also wondering if the lift mate attachment works well for the Rubi?

AEV makes an plastic adaptor to increase your stock jack height for larger tires as well

Yes, sorry, I should have been more specific--I mean using the hilift in a getting unstuck role. The liftmate for the wheels looked to have possibilities, as there does't seem to be a lot of hard points on the jeep itself.

You can use the rock rails, in fact it is a preferred position if you are high centered. The lift mate would work if you want to shove stuff under the wheel but you can't drive off the lift with a wheel wrapped like you can jacked under the rail.
