This past weekend I picked up a 3 ton floor jack from Harbor Freight for $68 on a holiday deal. Do I need more than a 3 ton jack? The max jack height is 20". Is that enough lift? They had a fancy Daytona Jack for $179 that had a max height of 23" and a 3 ton limit. The Daytona Jack seemed like a lot of money right up to the point you are trying to work on you suspension and you need 3 more inches...
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Offline When needing more height I just use 4x4 blocks with the jack

Really, you bought a jack from there, your seals might blow out.

Sears has some good floor jacks. I have two 5ton jacks I bought there. One I bought over a decade ago. They work great. Never had a problem.

That's what I have, 20 + years and counting.
