im looking to buy a 2-3 ton floor jack that will lift high enough so i can jack my car up from the front radiator support/rear towhook and be able to get jackstands under the places for them on the sides of the car. i've seen a 3-ton craftsman one for like $90, and it's the right size that im looking for (lifting-height), but i dont need to lift 6000 pounds. at my work they have a 2.5ton one that lifts the same height as the craftsman, and also has a nice foot peddle so you can jack it up that way, or by the handle (i like that one, but i dont know the brand of it). what floor jacks do you guys use/recommend, and where can you buy them at? also, are there any special ones for lowered cars? i've looked at walmart, autozone, and sears, and i either didnt see one i like or what i saw was more than i need. what do you guys use?

 

sams club has a few nice ones.

 

sucks for me since i dont have a membership to sams club. and penis, no need to whore my thread you goat herder.

 

I've heard some good things about the one that harbor freight has. I have the Craftsman model, but sucks for lowered cars. I have to drive mine on some bricks in order to jack it up.

Luckily i got my craftsman for free... its always nice when there are multiple departments who dont know what eachother does... I just ended up walking out with a package jack set.
Ebay has a nice aluminum jack thats good for lowered cars.. think its like 250 bucks . It doesnt lift quite as high though

 

I've got a Michelin jack from Sam's Club for $58. It's a 3 ton, 19in lift. My car is lowered 1 in and it just fits under. My neighbor bought one of the all aluminum racing jacks from Harbor Frieght in Tampa, $190 I think. Its 35 lbs lighter but works the same as mine. Automotive Engineering in Pinellas Park had the aluminum one in there store for $209 the other day.
