Ive got stock running gear, but HD front and rear bumpers and roll bar inside (not cage). Looking for a jack I can carry with me. Ive got a HI Lift, but like the ease of a floor jack as well.

lemme know.

Thanks

Looks good to me, the aluminum makes it a whole lot lighter. You might carry something like a piece of plate or wood to give it a flat surface to work from though...

Don't think I paid that much though.

If you don't like a Hi-Lift, carry a bottle jack. Smaller and lighter, even with the coupla chunks of 2x6 you stick in the toolbox.

Nice looking jack. My HF jack isn't much heavier and cost 10% of what this one does. This aluminum jack weighs 56 #s according to the ad. Doesn't seem to be a big weight saving. It is alot sexier looking than my HF though. The weight rating (3 tons) and height of the lift (18.5 in.) is the same.

I've got a massive 3.5 ton floor jack that'll lift my Suburban up with ease under the rear diff. Heavy focker though.

I carry a 12 ton bottle jack for any on pavement ops that a hi-lift would suck for, works good and in our trucks doesn't require a lot of pumping

depends o how l your tires are.you can use that if you dont need to lift the truck more than an inch off the ground.most floor jacks only lift about 12 inches and that goes 19.i mine like that is fine for 35 inch tires.any higher and it would not lift high enough without brigingthe gap in between with something to lift it higher
