I have a two ton jack that I've used for years, which today I realized I probably need to get a better one.

Which do you all use and recommend?

We have one of those aluminum low profile jacks that raise with just a few cranks.

Since I don't use mine everyday and I ALWAYS use jack stands, I bought the lowpro aluminum one from Harbor Freight. Works great!

POS Craftsman 3 ton. Most finicky jack I've ever used. When it goes, I'm going to go for a lo pro aluminum as well. I always use jack stands as well, 6 ton to be on the safe side :)

A floor jack that I paid too much for that is a ***** to use and I'm going to throw it off a bridge.

Aluminum racing Harbor freight 2 or 3 ton for the garage and I carry a 1.5 ton small floor jack in the truck, the factory one sucks.

Ok so anything over 3 1/2 ton jack from pep boys or harbor freight. I'll start looking around.

Thanks everybody for your input.
