You figure you are lifting the weight of the vehicle on just your rocker panel? Not a good idea. Not really a solid point on stock bumpers either. I would look for metal to metal contact on a point to is directly bolted to the frame for a good jack point only, just to be safe. I have jacked the rear of the vehicle up from the hitch mount before. That worked fine, but kind of sketchy.
