Hi Lift and mounts?
Im about to order some parts and I figured since I dont have any sort of jack in my Jeep I would order one.
What would you guys recommend for a jack and for mounting it? Would this jack be more than enough? I can pick one up when I go to summit if so.
And would you guys recommend the 60" or 48"? Im planning on running 35s with 2.5-3" lift
The bigger question is how do you guys mount yours? Ive seen a hood mount but it appears to block a lot of your view. Am I wrong?
Im currently all stock but I have a Poison Spyder Brawler lite front bumper waiting on powder coating.
Im sure there are a few threads on this already so feel free to direct me there, but a quick search didnt show me much.

I have a 60" on the hood because 1) the 60" was $2 more than the 48" and 2) it would take up too much room inside. I use the ACE Engineering hood mounts and they are fantastic. They are nice and clean, allow you to open the hood without interference from the jack, do not interfere with the windshield fluid nozzle, and do not block your view. Oh and they are very reasonably priced.

Here's a link to a show and tell thread. Just realize, these jacks are meant for off-road use, not for changing a tire on the side of the road. The stock scissor jack or a bottle jack still works fine. If you need extra height, a 4x4 block of wood or the AEV jack base works great.
