What floor jack do you use?

[NmcgrawJ]

What's the minimum ht on it?
I have the worst luck with them. Looks like I gotta spend $2-300 to get one that will last more than a year. But that's not an option right now.


What do you guys have?

I have a craftsman high lift SUV jack, it's not HUGE like it sounds and it fits under my 96gt thats lowered with c springs. Raises it 24" and gets to max height in 3 pumps....I got it for free b/c a roomate left it, but I see them on craigslist for $40 or less.

CL has them all the time. i got mine from harbor freight, but also check northern tool. they have em cheap and made for lowered cars.

Picked up an aluminum jack from Harbor Freight. It was @$50 with a coupon during a sale, lowers to like 3".

<-- every tool i own is either SNAP-ON or MAC. If i remember right my floor jack was right at $350.00 4-5 years ago. I will not use any tool but those.

I just got a killer jack from Harbor Freight...super low profile, but still holds around 2 tons. Its not the aluminum race jack, its bulkier...can't find it online, but its orange with a white handle...has like 28" of lift and goes down to about 3", I love it.

I have the same one, it's really nice for a lowered car.

I've got the craftsman aluminum jack which I've purchased for 140, if I remember correctly. I've used fairly often, and my car is very low. I'm pretty sure that it's been almost a year since I bought it, and it's still good. What I like the most about it is weight. 26lbs with handle, which is awesome for something that I can take to the track. What I don't like about it, is that it barely lifts the car up high enough to slip the jackstand under the subframe connector. Very annoying, and platform is pretty slippery, so it slipped off the subframe connector couple of times already.

How much was that?

 

[Dalamar]

3K delivered with ramps and jacking rail, and well worth it in my book. that was a few years ago.

a track car like yours would make good use of it.

 

[MadStang]

must be nice... I made a set of ramps but that only cost me $20 worth of wood lmao.

 

[Dalamar]

Pink, with wood.

i'm just sayin.....

Duffy I hate you but at the same time I'm glad I dont have a lift, I'm too tall to stand under one anyway

 

[CanaryGT]

My buddy gave me a Roush Racing Jack. I was happy.

Cheap ass Craftsman/HR jacks here.

Hate you guys with lifts in your houses/garages. If I had a lift I wouldn't take my car to a shop... EVER...
