High lift floor jack

[ventoracing]

Can someone recommend a decent high lift floor jack that works well with the Ram 1500.... My 3 ton craftsman just doesn't seem to have the lift height I need.

I've always used a couple of pieces of 2x4 screwed together...not sure how safe it really is, but you should be using quality stands anyway...

I also needed a higher lift jack when we got the truck. Doing shopping, I found 3 ton jack lifts ranged from 18-22 1/2". I went the 22 1/2" route

Yeah, that's what I think I need. At least 20+ inches of lift. Where did you find the one you bought?

I just one these Friday from Harbor Freight(eek!). It is heavy, weighs in at 115lbs! It works awesome though, it raises up to almost 24" from less than 3".

ballsy man to trust that car on a HF jack that high!

That's a photo I found online, I would never trust a jack alone. Just an example how high it goes.

Where are you lifting at? If you lift under the axle or A -arms you should not have any problems with lift height, as long as the jack can handle the weight of the truck.
I have a 05Jeep Rubicon with 35's and a 6" lift, and the factory bottle jack works fine for lifting the Jeep under the axles, lifting at the frame that's another story.....

I have this jack as well, it works awesome. I use it for my truck and mini cooper. Additionally, HF has 3 ton jack stands that I use which of course is always suggested.

Whoever that is has a death wish trusting their HF jack with no stands.
