yes, normally hi lifts are used somewhere where you have body protection, bumpers front and rear or rock panel protection. I would not put it directly on body panels.

Also, when using a hi lift, never leave the jack with weight on it and the Up/Down lever in the down position. This will cause the handle to begin flailing up and down as the jack descends, causing a very dangerous situation (flailing jack handle and truck on its way down).

And as everyone knows, these jacks can be used in many directions, including raisint to top to lift truck off rock, and then driving forward while still on jack. Again, just be careful to know where the jack is going as you move forward or backward.

Hi lift, don't leave the pavement without one.
