Floor Jack Recommendations

[AssBurns]

I’ve got a Low Profile from HF that has one of the higher max lift heights. Mostly pleased with it. I broke half the mechanism, so it’s slow currently.

Also got a Pro Eagle Big Wheel about a year ago. Nice quality. Pump speed isn’t the quickest. Pad extension is supposed to be inserted more that I did, oooops.

Jack Stands:
A few little ones good for working on axle outside of vehicles.
A pair of 6-tons are good for normal vehcikes
A pair of 12-tons are great for tall rigs like my stuff.

How do you like your Pro Eagle? Worth the cost?

I need to get a set of tall jack stands. Idk what the weight rating is on them but I’m guess around 6 ton. I thought about buying a set and making them about a foot taller with some angle iron. I also need some little ones for working on cars. Sucks having to lift a car 2 feet off the ground just to do brakes. Luckily little jack stands are cheap.

I wish it was quicker to lift.

But it’s amazing for rolling over hoses and cords and rocks and small steps going between the shop and garage.

I have the first one you linked and love it. Bought it after I put the 37s on - my old one would not lift the front high enough to get the tires off.

And how do you like it?

The Daytona Jack is the very same as a Snapon Jack that sells for 700 bucks on the truck. Snap on tried suing HF and the manufacturer of the jack but was unsuccessful. It's a good Jack. If you Google enough you'll find the whole story about it..

I've been Running a Torin Big Red 3 ton jack for years now without issue. I wanted to buy a Pro Eagle to carry around when wheeling but have heard they are crap.

Have you considered a Pro Eagle floor Jack? Pretty handy to have on the trail as well. Plus the customer service is second to none.



The Jack mount is badass and its lockable with a padlock

Solo Motor Sports Jack Handle Mount is pretty badass and is only 45 bucks..

I’ll probably end up going that route most likely.

Cost is why.

Thinking about the idea of getting one of the harbor freight 1.5 ton floor jacks for the rig. Mount it next to the cooler in the back on a quick release. Would make changing CV axles pretty easy, and weigh less than a hi-lift. I’d still have to carry a hi-lift for situations where I’m stuck, but I feel a floor jack is safer in many ways.

Don't worry about. Just keep using my hi-lift whenever you break things. You've used it more times then I have at this point. lol

I need to modify my hi-lift mount to fit over my new fender wells. It’s only been a full year since I pulled it out...

Just bought the 3 Ton Rapid pump. I don’t believe the color dictates the model. I know I could’ve gotten this one on any of the three colors.

I had been using their Pittsburgh 3 Ton for a few years. It gave up on me the other day. By gave up, I mean folded over to the side and twisted the base badly.

These Daytona jacks are a Snap-On knock Off and have great reviews. I figured, what the hell?

Hmmm. My pittsburgs has been holding up pretty well. About 3 years on and lots of usage. Hopefully it lasts a bit longer. Haha.

Mine was flawless for years too. I was lifting the front of my truck up in the center of the IFS skid as I’ve done countless times.

My garage floor is old and quite rough in places. I think one, or both, of the casters got hung up and it just twisted funny. I don’t know.
Regardless, I needed a new jack.

The wheels are a larger diameter on the new Daytona. Seems to roll in better than the old Pittsburgh.

Picked this up on the way home today. Fucker is heavy and tall!
