Need New Floor Jack - What do you use?

The Daytona floor jack from harbor freight is awesome. Super low profile so it will work on other vehicles but still has a pretty high max height. It’s a near carbon copy of the Snap on jack I have a work but half the price. They actually got into some legal issues over it lol. Highly recommend by me.

I have this jack for several years . reason I purchased this is the very low lift ability .. used the 25% discount coupon so I paid $72 USD for it.
my only issue is it is a heavy jack about 75lbs but very strong . also a 20 inch lift so you will need this high lift to do the front spring work on runner.

no warranty so some have had a problem but 95% are happy with it .

https://www.toyota-4runner.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=327099&stc=1&d=1551062806 The 6'' extension of pipe or the stock height can be changed out in 30 seconds with no tools.....I put the short threaded rod in the pipe and cap it with the pad to keep it safe for when I lower it for lifting the Civic. The flanged nut welded into the lift base keeps the pipe centered when tightened by hand and there is a matching nut in the pad piece too. You could make the pipe longer or shorter for your needs.....this equals about 28'' when extended.

Looks like some good options. Daytona seems to be to most popular and reasonable in price.

I guess there are not many/any good ones for $100 or less? The Costco one appears to be the cheapest.

I guess they all can lift our 4R's high enough.

I like this one 3 Ton Professional Grade Aluminum And Steel Service Jack
It does need a 2x4 spacer after a lift if u use the frame.

I picked up one of these two. I use a 2 foot piece of 4x6 to bridge from the slider to the frame, bomber lift point.

Yeah right! dude $500, you're a third of the way to a full 8000lb car lift at that price!

I have one of these and it is solid for the price. See above, a block of 4x6 will do wonders (obviously more care is necessary and in no way climb under anything that isn't secondary supported), especially if you have a set of rock sliders.
 
Anyone have recommendations not from Harbor Freight? They apparently don't ship here.

My jack just took a shit after changing oil in the wifes Highlander. Perfect timing to. Just as I was pulling out the jack stands it started sinking and not holding the car.

I was looking at Amazon since I actually can get free shipping but I'm not sold on that Black Hawk brand.

There is a couple of sellers on Amazon that sell the Arcan 3 ton (the same one from Costco):

Some floor jacks are rebuildable with a kit that has new seals. You can also get jack oil to replace the old oil as well. Also, I slide a pool noodle over the jack handle on mine so it won't damage the side of the car when the handle is up.
 
Mine is a Milwaukee Hydraulics model 20. USA made jack, even the cylinder. It got a pretty good workout several years back when we owned Jeeps.

Bought mine from Costco Iwilei. Arcan 3 ton for $110. Plus you can't beat Costco's warranty.
 
Get a Costco floor jack and you can return it anytime you want even after 10 years if you’re unsatisfied with it.
