Hi lift makes an extension that reaches pretty far... My hoping is that with the extension I can grab the frame at the normal Jack points and if not I'll have to go ballsy and lift from the tow hook up front the receiver in the rear lol hopefully it won't be a waste of money and I'll be able to find a way to use it because normal Jack don't even reach the frame barely anymore

At the expense of being "that guy", seriously re-think this. Using a hi-lift to raise a vehicle that does not have solid steel rails, slots in the steel bumpers, etc., etc. is asking for damage to the vehicle.
Also, once you start lifting the hi-lift starts moving, twisting, etc... it's really a terrible device for lifting a vehicle unless it is a bush buggy with lots of steel to lift against and you don't care what the jack may do to the body work.
There is a time and place for that but perhaps this is not it if you want to keep your truck looking good. I've used my hi-lift on my Jeep and tent trailer a number of times against the lift rails and bumpers and it is always a PITA and on the edge of damaging something and that is a small vehicle with bespoke steel jacking points.
Nowadays I'm all about bottle and scissor jacks on trucks I care to not beat on like a bush buggy. It's not terribly "sexy" but it is a better solution IMO.
Check the factory bottle jack for extension - consider loading some extra blocks or whatever to get extra travel if you need it with your tire set up. I'll probably fangle up some saddle shaped blocks to go between the scissor jack and axle tube or A-arms eventually. I have yet to leave the pavement with my build and other projects keep getting the queue (150 yo house) so a ways to go yet...
