Bumpers with HiLift holes?
Guys,
I remember seeing a bumper (Hansen?) that had holes for a HiLift to fit into. Can anyone confirm this.
Also, where are most folks lifting from when using the HiLift?
Just trying to plan for my next flat.
Thanks

I don't know about Hansen but my front Warn bumper and rear Smittybilt bumper both have jack lift points in them. All ARB bumpers have jack points too.

2 reasons we had to get rid of the Hi Lift Jack.. first the jack was mounted on the hood and was becoming extremely heavy for me to lift off without damaging the hood.. and the second reason.. there's no where on the JK that I would deem safe enough for a Hi Lift jack.. plastic bumpers and tin foil body panels.. However, I agree with finding the right bumpers and sliders (not side steps) to use as anchor points if you intend to get and keep a Hi Lift.. Otherwise, I've been using a floor jack.. with "red" points under the jeep to remind those needing to jack the jeep up to mate red on red.. Thou I do miss being able to jack the jeep up from one side and rotating both tires at once..

You shouldn't be using a high lift to change a flat on the road. Get a bottle jack, or a base to raise the stock jack. Either is more than adequate to change a tire, and either is going to be much safer than a high lift.
