I have one of the Craftsman 3 Ton SUV jacks (The yellow/black one). It failed on me. Jacked the car up, later tried to bring it down and it wouldn't get and pressure to lift. Fluid was a little low, filled it up and seemed to be working OK for a while but is doing the same thing now, didn't check the fluid but I suspect it's leaking or something...not sure I'd get it again....looking for a new one.

i bought the one from harbor freight the one thats silver. the racing one. its works very good, but the height isnt there. bearly lets me get the tires off. make sure u get one rated for over 3 ton and height over 20inches. and if you dont already have get 2 jack stands and 2 wheel chucks. never can be too safe when you under a 2800 pound veh.

imoo i wouldnt get this one. look for one that has pumps not the tooth type ones...tooth type ones tend to break, snap, or slip teeth.
This one looks interesting...
