Yes the OEM rock rails will work, but you need the adapter for tubular lift points made by WabFab Off-Road. Hi-Lift specifically says that the jack is not intended for use with tubular surfaces or bumpers. As long as you don't scratch the powdercoat, the lift should not bend or dent the rails I have replaced the factory bumpers, so I use the D-rings on my bumper. There are two rings up front on the FabFours, and Two on the Warn bumper in the rear plus the hitch reciever shackle. If you have a stock setup, you will have to use a Hitch mounted reciever shackle .I wouldn't think of touching the factory bumpers with a Hi-Lift. It would tear them right off. Maybe they have some points you can use, but I don't know about them. Another option is to get the Lift Mate accessory for your jack. It allows you to use your wheels as a jack point. This comes in handy if you want to build a ramp or something under the wheel. Good move on choosing the 60 incher. IMO, if you have the room, it is more versatile than the 48in model.
