The little jack that comes in the WJ is for use under the rear axle
by the shock mounts. It won't go high enough to use the frame lift
points that a floor jack would.
Remember to break the lugs loose before lifting the vehicle, this will
keep the jack from slipping. Spin the lugs on and snug making sure the
lugs are seated, then lower the vehicle and apply the proper torque.
Precice instructions are in the vehicle manual.
This gets close.
