Good floor jack?

Now that I got jack stands, what is a good floor jack for the taco? Mine is lifted 3" and need a taller one.

 

Don't be afraid to buy a low pro regular jack, the lift doesn't affect jacking points, its the tires that raise the truck away from the ground. And each 1" over size is only 1/2" further from the ground.

I have a standard low pro jack that works awesome on all my trucks, plus when I need a lower jack it's nice to have.

I have a bottle jack that I bring for offroading.

 

I wanna make a joke here but

I just use a 3 ton floor jack my dad got me a long time ago. And use the stock one also when I rotate tires

 

Bought this about a month ago from harbor freight, love it. Works well with my lowered Subaru too

 

its funny how amazing it feels to bust it out compared to the old days of factory jacks at home.

I had an old AC Delco and it sucked. This is nice because I think it maxes out at like 24”, which is plenty to lift a lifted truck

 

This is what I recommend, an aluminum 3 ton jack

I have the Harbor Freight 4-ton steal Jack and it works well. Returned the 3-ton. Not because it couldn't do the job but because a 4 ton jack seems more "comfortable" picking both front tires off the ground at the same time.

 

Don't forget to keep a nice 2"x6" piece of wood in your truck in case you get a flat tire on the highway. That OEM jack will have a hard time lifting your Taco!

I am going to be installing a lift soon, do you have any issues using this with your truck? Is your truck lifted and on larger tires? How far does it lift your truck off the ground? What are you using as Jack points?

 

I bought an extension for my jack. Seems to work O.K. I did drill out a short length of 4X4 to put around it for extra stability.

I’d add a nice solid piece of treated 4x4 or 6x6 before I bought a new jack

 

I have harbor frieghts 3 ton aluminum and love it. Spend the extra for aluminum worth every penny

 

Yeah I have the HF 3 ton steel one and every time I use it i'm amazed at how heavy it is.

But it works, so for the next 20 years or however long it lasts I will continue to bitch about it.

 

I do most of my work on gravel and busted up asphalt so I hated my old heavy steel jack

 

Well I'll be!

 

Ha...beat me too it. I have the same jack and am quite pleased with it. Being HF I wouldn’t expect it to last in a commercial environment but as a shade tree mechanic it works well.

 

I got this one.
