One of the main reasons I was considering ordering one now is because I dont have the stock jack and figured I would need something if I ever got a flat. Is using a hi lift to change a tire really that bad of an idea? And you guys mentioned it needing specific points to jack by, is there no way to use one to lift a stock jeep? I have a poison spyder bumper waiting to go on the front, but jacking it by the bumper seems a little sketchy. Am I wrong?

The issue is stability. If you're careful with it, there's not issues doing so. You can even use a strap around the axle to lift it up to change a tire, though I prefer a bottle jack for doing so. This works very well to stabilize the jack. Not much of an investment to protect a $30K vehicle or yourself.
