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.

Yeah-I got the Wab Fab adapter & the wheel adapter. I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Mainly wanted to see if anyone used it on their rock rails before I attempt to do it.
Other that an old '75 Jeep, I've pretty much been a sports car guy...I'm up-grading to some heavier duty tools as I get sucked into the 4x4 world more everyday!
