Recommendations on Floor Jack?

[jamess]

I am looking for a floor jack. I am not sure what kind of max height I need to look for. I have 275/65/16.

What would you all suggest?

Thanks.

I am looking at the Torin Big Red 3 Ton floor Jack and it seems to have good reviews. This will be my first Floor Jack purchase so anyone else want to chime in and give there experiance/opinion please do. Keeping in mind that with a lift and or larger tires the height will go up. This Floor Jack has a height limit of 21 inches which should be fine any thing higher then that would be better but 3 inch lift and or 33 inch tires. I think this Floor Jack will work. Also craftsman makes a good one from what i have heard in the past. Just be sure to get matching Jack Stands. This one is around $90.00 and you can find it as a set (floor jack/jack stands) for about a $100.00 on Amazon. Seems reasonable to me.

Check out your local Harbor Freight and look in your local newspaper for their 20% cupons. Their floor jacks might not be well suited for a race car driver, but with their prices you can't beat it. After all, it is only a floor jack. Best of luck

I have a 3 ton that my neighbor gave me, couldn't believe he didn't want it anymore, also gave me two jack stands that came with it when he bought it. It has almost a 21 inch lift, which is the most important thing to look for since the 4Runner is usually higher than normal cars.

It was less than a year old when he gave it to me. It has almost a 21 inch lift, which is the most important thing to look for since the 4Runner is usually higher than normal cars.

Look for one that is SUV specific in case you lift your Runner. With my lift my Craftsman floor jack works only on the pumpkin and limited parts of the front area.
