i have used the hi lift on my rubicon rails three times already and they held up fine; however..........you need to place a t shirt or rag between the jack and the body of your jeep; as you lift the vehicle, the jack tends to lean into the jeep. if you don't have something to cushion the contact, you will definitely dent or gouge your jeep.

not to be a total noob or anything, although I am...

How would you lift from a d-ring? I have a hi-lift and got the tire lift...

Find some flat ground, chock the wheels, hook the jack on the d-ring and start pumping.

It seems to me that the Hi Lift is kinda unstable?

Oh yeah, they are. I use it as a last resort if I have to jack and I always leave myself bailout room

I would highly, highly recommend practicing using a high-lift jack in your driveway - a bunch. I highly recommend this video from off-road guru Bill Burke:
Getting Unstuck DVD
He shows the proper use of a high-lift jack, proper winching techniques and other great advice.
