Using that HiLift to change a tire is risky business.

You should dismount the spare and lay it beside the Jeep. Then, loosen the
lug nuts on the flat tire. Then, raise the Jeep on the HiLift AND put the
spare under the axle or anyplace where should the vehicle fall off the jack,
the spare will stop it before it hits the ground. Then, remove the lug nuts
most of the way. Then get the spare out and remove the lug nuts the rest of
the way, being very careful to not allow the vehicle to move sideways.
Remove the flat tire and place it where the spare was. Then, put the spare
on and bolt it down.

A HiLift jack should only be used for recovery operations. It is possible to
use ot for flat tire repair, but this is potentially a deadly thing to be
doing. If you have a buddy with you, you can put his spare under your frame,
this way you can keep your spare handy beside the flat tire you are working
on.

As for accessories, you might want to get the foot that keeps the base of
the jack from sinking into the sand.
