Default hi-lift jack

Does the stock jk have any hi-lift jack points? I just found a great deal on a hi-lift jack, which i will need since i've upgraded my tires and suspension.

There are quite a few places you can usually jack from depending on the situation you are in, but there are no stock points that are designated for using hi-lifts if that's what you're asking.

Even if you never have a chance to use it, $35 is worth it just for the coolness of having it bolted on your jeep.

A Hi Lift is never a bad investment if you plan on going off road

I have a hi-lift i got for christmas that thankfully, i have yet to need, but if i found another one for $35, i'd grab it for sure. you can always add points later (bumpers, sliders, etc)

hi lifts have a lot of uses. a dismally slow but effective winch for example. you can get the hook attachment thing for lifting by the rim, etc.

The AEV jack base is worth the bucks. Mine has come in handy twice now.
