I want to be sure I get a jack that will give me enough lift. The truck is 3/4 ton. Any recommendations? Thanks John

Maybe catch a good one on sale....but be prepared to pay a few extra bucks for a GOOD ONE. Also, save your receipt till the warrante runs out on any jack.
Also, since you will probably be jacking up other vehicles you may want to watch the "profile" meaning how "low" it is in case you want to use it under a low vehicle.
Good luck. Let us know what you pick..and I'd go at least for a 2 1/2 ton if not a three! | | | | | Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 1,644 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 1,644 | Costco sells a low-profile 4 ton jack for $95. Bought it last year and it's a high quality jack with dual cylinders, powdercoat paint, and nice casters. It's heavy!! You won't find a nicer one for the money.

Chipmunk has a good point about using it on other vehicles.
I have a 3 ton steel floorjack and it's very heavy. I'd get an aluminum jack for general purpose in the shop next time. I like scissor jacks for light duty use to carry with me but bottle jacks are good if you don't mind crawling under the truck. So how you use it is key to figuring out what is best. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 289 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 289 | see this thread. BTW, my Jet jack is still working fine and sees a fair amount of use from time to time. Threard on car jacks | | |
