Floor jack recommendation
O.K. I'm tired of dealing with cheap 2.5 ton floor jacks that don't fit under my front end since I've put on NF's. I purchased my latest one the first of July and after 5 months of weekend warrior use, it is dead.
I realize that I won't be paying around $50 - $75 as I have done in the past. I'm going to have to step up and pay somewhere around $300 for a solid, low profile jack that won't leak or decide to quit raising! I need recommendations. Who's got a jack they couldn't imagine not having? Where do I purchase a quality jack? The one's I've been purchasing at stores like advance auto parts or wal mart just don't cut it. Thanks.... |

Talk to a local mechanic, I'm sure they would know what brands to buy, and where to get one.

I bought a floor jack from Pep Boys but could not figure out where the lift point was from looking at the manual. I lifted it where the scissor jack goes instead.

my craftsman jack was around $150 and it fits under my car with df210s and still has a lot of room. :)

I have never even taken my jack off.
