Floor jacks?

[ebg18t]

I am in the market for a new floor jack. I want one that goes tall enough so that i don't need to use 3-4 pieces of 2x4 to get the truck off the ground. Open to suggestions & ideas.

I read that one. The option suggested was the arcan one from Costco. Unortunatly I don't belong to Costco, and I bet there are more options. I looked at that arcan one fom other vendors and the shipping kill the price.

You can find one like the COSTCO jack...I treated myself to the arcan jack and love it!

Good luck.

Do you have a Northern Tool close to you? You can get the same jack that Costco sells at Northern Tool for $30 more.

Arcan Quick Lift Professional Service Jack — 3 1/2-Ton, Model# XL35 | Floor Jacks| Northern Tool + Equipment

I have the Costco version of the jack and I love it. It is heavy but I don't anticipate it ever leaving the garage.

I figure most 3 1/2 ton jacks should do it for you, unless its specifically labeled "low profile". I picked one up at my local hardware store. It was branded Michelin, $200 but I got it half price. Heavy sum ***** too, lifts plenty high. Couldn't be happier with it!

I got this one from Harbor Freight for $65 with a coupon they included in either an off road magazine or their monthly email.

Heavy Duty 3 Ton Floor Jack w/ Rapid Pump (this one has a coupon for $70 listed in the description)

My previous jack was just like that Arcan, but another brand from a local hardware store I used to work it. The new one (from HF) is WAAAAAAAAAY better.

I have this one, not the best quality but gets the job done. I am able to lift from the frame rails and get the tires well off the ground with an old man emu 3" lift. Get some hydraulic jack oil and keep it topped off.

Thanks for the ideas guys. I do have a northern tool about 2hrs away, so next time I am near there I will check it out.
