60 is way overkill for your hood and, more than you need unless you're really tall and running really big tires. 40-48 is pretty much standard

60 is more for guys running 6" of lift and 40's.
for whatever it's worth, i almost never use a hi-lift for anything and find that a good 12 ton bottle jack to be way more effective in just about every application. but, that's just me.

Okay I know I am going to get so much crap for saying this but here goes I mainly want it for the look they are so bad ass on the hood I have also ordered my winch and will be here this week so probably will never use this jack.

all the more reason why you should get something in the 40" range. 60 is about the width of your jeep and it will look silly

How do you use the bottle jack with such a small contact space to the axle? That would make me nervous.
