Default motor lift bracket

Has anyone made a motor lift bracket for the 4.0? I don't want to scrape a new paint job up!

Okay, the places most guys use are the oil dipstick bolt or starter bolt on the passenger's side, and a power steering bracket bolt on the other side. If you use a chain, put a bolt thru both sides of the chain just below the lift hook so it doesn't slide on you when you lift it. Some guys say they like to use the stud threaded part of the head bolts.

About the coolest lift tool I've ever seen was just a 1/2 X 3" steel bar about 3 ft long, perforated with 1/2" holes about every 3" with shackles and chains that you could put anywhere along it.
