Jack Stands - safe way to jack the beast up

[Buzzard2]

Jacks have seals so you will eventually have to rebuild it. One difference is the quality jacks have rebuild kits readily available.

I have the harbor freight yellow Daytona jack and has worked fine in its limited use. They are made in the same factory in China as the Snap On Jacks. That doesn't mean it is a Snap on.

I do believe in the cry once theory and typically buy the best.
As the old saying goes " I am not rich enough to buy cheap stuff"

I also have to prioritize my purchases, I spent my money on Shocks, tires, tunes, etc and have no regrets. I really don't care what any of you buy or use for jacks and stands if your happy and can live with it that's all that matters.

I have been using these for a few years, first with the Viper and now the ZL1. They are absolutely awesome!

These 12 ton jack stands from Northern Tool along with a 3 ton jack with pad extension work really well to get the truck high enough for tire rotations.

Just bought a Badlands 3 Ton Off-road Floor Jack at Harbor Freight. $239 before tax with 25% off Coupon.

Tried it out today as I didn’t want to find out it didn’t work after the warranty expired and when I was in the middle of nowhere.

Researched it on here and was advised to check it out after purchase as not usually, but sometimes you get a bad unit.

Lifts tire off the ground from rear on axle or with extender on frame rail. No problem.

No worries... thanks Meatworld. I would love to find one that goes 27”... the highest at HF goes 24”.

The Badlands 3 3 Ton I just bought from HF says it goes 29 1/16.
