So, who makes a good floor jack with enough lift but is still easy on the wallet?
Thanks, Jon |

I like Torin and Arcan jacks for reasonably priced ($150-$250 range) jacks with good reputations. Sears carries a few Craftsman models that would work, but if you read the reviews on them, they seem to very problematic.

Damn wish I had checked this thread this morning. I just rotated my tires and in the process put a giant hole in the frame where one of those big rubber tabs used to be . The plus side is that the tab fits snugly on the contact point of the floor jack for future use, so it hasn't gone to waste.
You can get a 2.5 ton Duralast at AutoZone for only $50. Been using one with 2-ton stands for 7 months and still no problems.

EDIT* posted this in th wrong thread, i'll re post. Wow...thread necro...
I finally got around to modifying modifying hockey push with an angle grinder. I'm lowered so I cannot aces the front lift point. I usually jack my car up about twice a month so the pinch welds are not adequate for that. I now lift at the pinch welds using a puck and then place my jack stands under my control arms for the front (, close to the subframe , possible). For the rear I place the axle on jack stands this way there is no weight on the pinch welds. Worked well this past weekend with no issues.
