skid jack or high lift jack?

[carlschmarl2]

All the "Customer Reviews" in the Harbor Freight jack say it's a POS.

Many complain that it warps/twists under pressure and that the values leak so that they lose pressure.

How often do you guys actually use yours?

I'm looking for a good one to use also I'm my garage for rotating tires and the such.

You guys ever use the arb bushranger x jack ?

Looks like it would be good on uneven soft terrain.

My plan is a skid, bottle jack, and winch.

My plan is a skid Rowe, bottle of jack, and an old winch.

Got you straight Doc...

Going to give the OTC 1532 a shot. Found it for a decent price and the reviews are a little better than the HB jack. I can probably make my own skid too.

My local NAPA has these jacks on sale for $199: NAPA AUTO PARTS

3.5 Ton

Does anyone have any experience with these?

I've used them in two different shops I worked at. Both held up well considering the amount of use they got.

We do make a kit that is the jack with skid and a mount kit that is quick release in both 1.5 ton we did for the TROPHYLITE trucks and a 2 ton for Raptors like Trey got. Then you can bolt the mount system down and the jack goes into the mount that is bolted to the truck and you can get the jack out with a pull pin. Easy and quick to mount. We have used this on our race trucks for years now. Work great. We can make more of them if anyone wants one. We make the 2 ton version including the jack for $299.99. Not trying to circumvent the vendor deal here or anything just trying to answer the questions and help.

Yep I'm reviving this thread. Seemed like the best one since a search didn't come up with anything more recent.

Do you still make the skids? The links posted are dead, but I'm interested in one as could use a real jack.

I'm on 37's and mid perch, think 2 ton jack and maybe a block of wood would be sufficient?

Thanks!

Called @khcdave today and left a message. Found an old thread advertising a skid and mount for $175 for a 2 ton jack. Just need to know if it will fit in the alpha one rack.

Seems pricey but looks like they still make them.
