Hi lift jack with stock Willys?

[The Wumbologist]

Hi all, I just unexpectedly received a nice new Hi Lift jack as a gift from someone who figured it would be a nice addition to my truck. They're right, but now I'm trying to figure out how to use it and as far as I can tell, there aren't a lot of options for sale jacking points on my Willys. I don't think the factory "rock rails" are built for it, nor are the bumpers from what I can tell.

Is there somewhere I can just from with this, or should I consider it a sign that it's time to do some upgrading?

They're not a great solution even when you have jacking points. Only thing you could really do is a tire lift attachment.

1st off if you have not used one be careful, can be a bit dangerous if not used properly. I have used one by attaching to front or rear bumper with a shackle and strap. There are a couple of attachments that work well. I carry one but don't really use it much.
