You can always put some wood on the jack and raise the max. height...

 

I bought a floor jack from sears... thought it was a great deal... jack.. 2 stands... i think it had a 3 ton lift... but i couldn't get the jack in a spot to get my tires off the ground... horrible.... So... next day i took it back and then went to Home Depot and looked at bottle jacks... grabed 4 of them for about 60 bucks or so.... Work great... No problems... no leaks...

 

I lifted from the shock mount. It is strong enough. Also, the pad on the jack is pretty thick, so that helps.

 

ok so you cant get both front tires off the ground though...right?

obviously you can get both rears up at once...

 

I dont know, Ill go check. BRB.

 

RamItOne- It did lift the front off the ground, but not before it blew a seal and spat oil onto my driveway.

 

plus one on never getting under your truck without a jackstand.

That sucks Ive maxed mine out several times and hadn't had an issue.

 

I was hoping it would break. I dont trust it from reading the reviews. I am glad it went now and not a 12 months later after the warranty expired.

 

go to northern tool and get a jack there.
My jack isn't a quick jack where it only needs 4 pumps to get up. The good quick floor jacks are gonna be over 300 bucks.

 

I want this one. But it is so expensive...
