i put my truck in 4LOW and drive up on some old rims and tires i have

 

Best $220 I ever spent on a jack. This appears to be the same one like they have at Discount tire but just relabeled as a NAPA brand. I love it and takes a lot of abuse. Mine's about 10 years old now and performs flawlessly.

 

When my old Craftsman 3.5 ton crapped out I went to thetoolwarehouse dot net and got an OTC Stinger 3 ton jack, that they were offering with or without 2 jackstands, and it was the same price either way so I added 2 more jackstands to my collection also. It was around $130 IIRC...

 

I want Aluminum because it's light weight. I can't lug those big iron jacks around where I live.
Sounds like I'm going to go with the 3000lbers. Would help to have an extra jack around. I'd love a 3ton+ but don't wana shell out that kind of money.
I'm pretty sure the one Tyler has is a 3000lber and it's worked flawlessly every time I've been out there.

We have some 3 1/2 ton jacks that a shop was throwing out but they are heavy and need repair done that I don't wana do.

 

That only works when the vehicle runs and doesn't help you change the tires.
