Put your jack on the frame. Thats probably the best place.

Get a High Lift jack and use the bumper as your lifting point. A High Lift will also get you out of more tough spots than that twist jack.

Yeah---Go ahead and use a hi-lift on a 96 stock bronco bumpers and it will bend them. These bumpers are definitely not made to be used as jacking points. Stick with the frame or axles. Although it is good to own a hi-lift. Luckily I have custon sliders and bumpers so I can use a hi-lift on any corner as well as the sides.

The best places are the outer ends of each axle just inboard of the tires. If you look in the owner's manual or on a sticker on the core support, it'll show the recommended points. Don't use the bumpers or body.
