change brakes on lifted screw

I want to change my brakes on my 2001 screw. I have a 4x4 with a six inch lift. What kind of jack and where do I hook-it up to in my front end. Some say to use a high-lift but I think that is not the correct way to jack-up my truck.

When I jack up the front of my truck I just use a floor jack and put it under the crossmember that's under the engine.

I concur On the front put the Floor Jack either on the cross member or you can put it under the Lowere control arm but then you must put a Jaack Stand under the frame to support the truck not really safe to rely on the floor jack as for the rear DO NOT put the floor jack on the gear housing itself this can casue damage put the floor jack off towards the wheel on the axle shaft housing and then put jack stands under the same place but over a tad bit and lowere truck onto jack stands.
