This may be a stubid newbie question
But I have searches all over the place and haven't been able to find a clear answer , and would like one before I try it on my jeep hahahahaha. Can I use the factory rubicon rock sliders as hi lift jacking points to ..... Change a tire or what ever? With out damaging the body or points where there are mounted

Hi-lifts require jacking points that are solid. Typically metal bumpers/frame mounted sliders (nothing on a stock jeep is ideal for them). The stock sliders can bend up into the body, but in an emergency you could use them. I wouldn't use them if you don't have to though. A floor jack or stock jack at the axle is best. If you're on a trail you can always use the terrain to lift the corners of the vehicle.
