Floor jack for Raptor suggestion

[Miker397]

For about $100 shipped, I'm getting this 3 ton ultra low profile (2 and 7/8 in to almost 20'' jack height) from harbor freight https://www.harborfreight.com/3-ton...vy-duty-floor-jack-with-rapid-pump-61253.html . Good reviews, rapid jack, and will be nice to be able to use it on sports cars as well, especially those without center jack spots as getting onto 4 stands sucks with just one jack.

Miker397 Let us know how you like it. I got the NOS NSJ0302 3-Ton Aluminum Service Jack Pro Style off Amazon for about $270. Not the cheapest but really liking it. 3.75 in to 19 in height range--more with hockey puck(s). Can lift the standard tires off the ground using the factory recommended frame rail in front and axle in rear. Need to get about 17"H in rear to set a jack stand and closer to 19" in front.

@Pro Eagle
BTW I still need to come by and pick mine up. I can never seem to make it during business hours these days....

What's the minimum height on these. I need about 4.5" or less for my lowest car, and really like wheels on "The Beast" model best.

Also thinking the 13" extension would work better than the 8" for the long travel suspension on the Raptor.

Has any comes across the need for a 3ton vs 2ton?

I have the Harbor Freight Aluminum 3 ton. I have to stack 3 pieces of 2X6 to get the wheel off the ground. Lift had a 19 1/8” lift height.

This is what I'm wondering as well. I currently have a low profile 2-Ton Craftsman aluminum jack and I'm wondering if it's sufficient. I've lifted the back end of the truck with out a problem but haven't tried the front which is undoubtedly heavier. Once up, I secure it with a pair of 3-ton jack stands.

A true 2-ton at 4000lbs should be sufficient for most trucks due to lifting only a portion of the full truck weight. A 3-ton is certainly "better-than", but wouldn't be needed till you get to extremely heavy trucks (e.g. F350s, modified work trucks, etc.

If the prices is similar, and all other features being what you want, go with the 3-ton. But if the 2-ton appeals to you for price, weight, or other features, you should be fine with a good 2-ton on our trucks.
