the JK bumper is mostly plastic and it's not recommended to lift the jeep using a hi lift from the bumper.

It's best to use a bottle jack or scissor jack under the axle. It's also much safer. Lots of people have been injured using a high lift.

I actually have an ARB air bag that I carry in my jeep and although I still have a hi lift bolted to my roll bar I have used the air bag many more times that the Hi lift.
