Where are they?
Pics??

And where can you use a hi lift? I figured the back hitch.. where else

 

Hi lift should be used on a hitch or a sturdy rock slider and safe regular jacking points should be the axles the unibody do not jack it up from any steering spots the oil pan or gas tank ive seen it done

 

What about the part that extends down by the wheels / axle.. that's what I always use like this {supposed to be an axle but upside down} I jack on the part that goes down (^) in the drawing.

Are those on the pinch welds ? I would be careful as to not crush the pinch welds. I use the rear end pumpkin on both axles I never jack on the long tube in the front. I built rock sliders and they are pretty much a given spot to use a high lift if needed.

 

Axles, and the unibody frame rails. My stock bumpers have been holding up fine using the hi lift on them, but I only do that when I have to. Just dont try to use a hi lift on the rockers like one of my friends, the jack actually punched a hole through his rocker and bent the door so it doesn't open and close right.
I do not jack it up on suspension or steering parts.

 

My jack doesn't reach my unibody rails so I jack it up by the axle tube in front and diff in the rear

 

Axles or the "Frame rail" on the unibody for standard jacks. High lifts on a hitch, i wouldn't trust pinch welds or bumpers.

 

I'd never trust a pinch weld for jacking, the things rust from the inside out.

 

Oh good point.

 

there is an island in between two notches in the pinch seam on the far ends front and rear both sides, these are the factory lifting points but anywhere on the pinch seam is fine (ok i wouldnt if its rusted)
anywhere on the frame, axle tubes, diff... for a hi-lift only on heavy duty bumpers, sliders or a hitch

do not on the floor boards, crossmembers, tcase skid and as previously mentioned gas tank, oil pans or anything to do with steering.

 

Never? I always use the long tube just try to get as close to the pumkin as possible.

 

Anyone wana take pics

 

i was thnking to myself that i dnt have any wile i typed lol

not a cherokee but best pic i could find of the island and notches on google

I tried lifting my xj here at the shop. I would advise against lifting at the pinch. Crushed on corner. I use the unibody rails now.

 

was it crushed, banged up or rusted before? this is the factory jacking point but ya when that happens frame rails work just as well
