Same here, no problems ever doing that way. Remember to use Jack stands, never crawl under a vehicle with just a jack holding it up.

I place mine under the rock sliders, don't forget to chock the tires front and rear. Another place I use with my Hi-Lift is a hook I made that goes in the D-Rings, it works the best of all. But I have a 60" Ultimate Hi-Lift jack so the extra height helps a bunch.


Have been known to throw the winch cable over a tree limb and pick up the tire and Jeep (using a ****** block hooked to the D-Ring) also to change it.
