I see you have a 5” lift and 31’s. How far off the ground can you get that with your stock jack?
The High Lift will pick you up out of a hole, and can double as a winch. It’s a very handy piece of equipment to have. I have even used mine to move trees off the trail.
Go for a 48".
Also when your XJ pisses you off, you can make one hell of a dent with it.

I got a 48" one from TSC and it has held up fine. It is the TSC brand not a HiLift but is just as strong. You do need to keep it lubed up though. Won't work well without lube. I use silicone spray b/c it lasts longer.

You can still lift from the bumpers as long as you lift where it attaches to the unibody. There are no good side lift points without a set of sliders, unless you have rockers made of 1/4" plate like Stryker does.

They can be used to lift or as a winch. Stretching barb wire is another.
Some farmers pick their teeth with them.
Well maybe not teeth but they can think of a lot of ways they can come in handy now that mules have went out of style.
P.S. Chained to a beam in the barn you could use it to pull a motor?
