Best High Lift Floor Jack?

[nikhsub1]

Are you guys that bought the Pro Eagle going for the 3 ton or 2 ton...I'm assuming 3 ton?...any suggestions on which vendor on here sells them and has good price and customer service?
Thanks
OH...and appx. clearance ... searched around and looks like 6" min. and wanting to use on my Corvette also which is right around 7"...

I got the 2 ton - I figure there is never a time where you are jacking up more than half the truck... works great so far!

I purchased the 3 ton from JMC Equipment listed on Ebay for $430 delivered. $50 more than the 2 ton jack. I didn't want to 'wish' I had spend the additional $50 bucks. This jack is a beast and well worth the investment for a lifetime tool.

I've never been sorry for buying the 'best' of anything in my life, I've only been sorry for going the cheap way, which generally under-performs and has cost me more.

so again I ask, in what world would that factory scissor jack actual suffice if you were stranded w/ a flat FRONT tire? If my 3 ton 20" HF jack couldn't do it (& felt a little taxed in the process as well) then what good is that puny thing going to be? LOL

I was also curious about the scissor jack that came with the truck - found someone who lifted the front wheel off the ground using the factory jack. I'm shocked that little thing actually did it.

No kidding!...still got my factory jack...somewhere!
We bought the 2 ton P/Eagle a while back before they had a 3 ton...if buying again it would be the 3 ton...Now this is the big wheel jack for our shop, my trk has the 2 ton regular size wheeled unit and sure it will work fine for the Raptor..

For the low clearance vehicle, get an inexpensive set of ramps. Drive the car up the ramps and then use the jack.

I do this with my ‘74 Alfa which is very low clearance.

Otherwise it’s two jacks. You need the 3 ton for the Raptor and low clearance for the Vette.

Thanks...Yep...for sure need the 3 Ton for Raptor.....was just trying to make some room in shop and get rid of my small "corvette" jack...but guess thats not happening.
But Nikhsub1 makes a good point for the 2 Ton...never going to be lifting the entire Raptor..but for $50 more...better to be safe than sorry....

AGREE 110% and have always tried to buy the BEST I can afford...."cheap" always cost more in the end...
I was looking at the same seller on Ebay JMC...and see the 3 ton is $469 or "Best Offer"...did you make them that $430 offer,or has the price just gone up since you bought yours...

I made them an offer and have the 3 ton in my garage now for $430 delivered, but it does appear the asking price went up by $10-$20.

Did a bunch of research and wound up with this:
NOS NSJ0302 3-Ton Aluminum Service Jack Pro Style that I bought on Amazon.

Works great on all my vehicles. It had one wheel damaged in shipment so I called the warranty number in the manual. It is PowerStationUSA dot com. The same parent company as Arcan. They sent me a new wheel no questions asked. As best I can tell this is a slightly higher spec version of the NOS NSJ0301 or Arcan ALJ3T. Rolls easily and works flawlessly.

Highly recommend. I use it with a rubber jack pad and no problem changing wheels in the winter/summer using the factory jack points.

Also nicely fits inside of 2 Rennstand by Safe Jack's that I use for the Macan.

THANKS...thats good to know,will shoot them an offer and see if I'm a better wheeler-dealer than you,although figure they are not working on a large profit margin,especially with Free Shipping on a 50lbs item...

I went with ProEagle jack “Kratos”. The quality of the jack and customer service is outstanding! If you are military or first responder they will hook you up with a nice discount. I only paid $350 for mine including shipping. Win win!!
