Default Rocker guard jacking

Are any of the advertised rocker guards suitable for jacking with a Hi Lift jack?

Unfortunately, I have a Sahara with a plastic step. I want to replace it with a steel guard for protection as well as a jacking point.

Evo sliders don't advertise that they can, but I believe they say it on some of threads.

I think the biggest issue is that the jack can slide off or sideways. Some aftermarket bumpers have provisions/slots for the highlift.

Our Purejeep rockers work fine as a lift point.

Shrockworks says their sliders are suitable for jacking.

I wonder if the LoD sliders can handle it? I picked up a 3 1/2 Torin Big Red jack (similar to High lift) on special last week but where is a save spot to lift the Jeep for us guys that have stock bumpers?

If they are built to with stand rocks they'll work as a jack point

I have the PSC Rocker Knockers with sliders and you can use them as lift points all day long.
