Default 3" Bottle Jack Options + Lift Points

Hi all! Recently got a new D2, which came with a 3" lift and no jack. Back when I had a 2" I would use an O'Rileys brand bottle jack and it "worked" but by no means "safe" and a good idea on anything other than concrete. I was wondering if any of y'all have recommendations on offroad jacks and mounting points on the D2. I used to jack on the axel but I'm worried about the circular surface of it and the possibility of it slipping off the jack. The factory jack had a wing nut design which I liked, but not sure if any jacks have that or have an attachment for it.

there are bottle jack attachments that a U shaped to get placed on circular portion to cradle the axel and prevent slippage. Just do a search on google or amazon and a handful of options pop up.

I prefer the full size truck scissor jacks with the slot in them, I position it on the trailing arm. GM screw jacks with a saddle are also good. I like jacks that I can run with an 18v impact driver
