My favorite jack stands lol ...Where are big red jacks made?

Torin jacks has established a world renowned manufacturing plant in USA in Los Angeles with the most advanced product design and development centers.
Is your truck lifted or stock ...if it's stock you can go with the cheapest of the daytona floor jacks which is going for $169 right now at harbor freight ... it has a lift height of 18-1/4 in.What's a good trolley jack to put in the bed of a 3500 dually?
Those Heathens!!! lol ..That looks like a good jack ...21 3/8 of lift height ...not bad .... 3 ton ... good price ... why not !I just googled best floor Jacks and ended up with this one.
Much less weight than my 50yr old 5 ton Behemoth but rebuilding the cylinder would've cost me over a $1K
and a 60yr old Cripple doesn't really need anything like that anymore.
My mechanic in-in-law, along with my own Son, tried talking me into rebuilding the Beast.
Amazing how quickly their Opinions changed when I told them they could have the jack and pay for it, themselves.
Then they were all about which Jack I should buy.
It had to be "Just Right".
Other words, which Jack they'd love to borrow, if theirs don't cut the mustard.
Heathens.
I have use the jack. Well, I sat an watched my Son use it and it is a nice jack for for normal usage.
Not going to lift a single axle semi or anything like that but most folks will find it suffinicent.
I have one of their jacks from when they were still just called Arcan jacks,damn things 40 years old now,and still works good,the seal has a minor leak but i just top it up with a bit of hyd jack fluid maybe once a year. I welded a piece of flat bar to the handle bolt,so i could back the bolt out to remove the handle with-out using a wrench,as even the handle is heavy on them. At a 100 lbs,it's not all that easy to throw in the box of a lifted truck though,lol.I just googled best floor Jacks and ended up with this one.

I love my yellow daytona 3 ton jack .... it's put in work since I gotten it ... as a matter of fact, I will be using it maybe this weekend to do my wife's lexus oil change ....I don't use mine anywhere but the driveway, but 3ton aluminum I bought on sale at Harbor Freight has been doing great for 7+ years now after my Craftsman gave out after only a couple years.
