    I desperately need a decent quality floor jack to lift the taco. My old one isn't cutting it anymore. I've had mixed luck with harbor freight tools. This looks like it's a good product but I don't know squat about jacks. Also I need jack stands do you guys recommend ones which go higher than 16"?

    OP that looks like the one I have and it lifts my truck fine, both front and back diffs. I have a 2" or so lift with 265/75R16 tires.

    Agreed. Let me rephrase. Hi-lift FTW when the bottle jack won't reach.

    I bought the 14"-23" 3 ton jack stands and the the 4 ton Jack. I think I'll leave the Jack in the box until after Black Friday in case Sears has a 4 ton at a similar price.

    I have the HF 2.5ton model. I've had it for 2-3 years now. It's still working good. I dont have issues raising the truck but I do usually end up having to put something underneath the jack stands so I get the appropriate height. I personally don't like to have the jack stands on the last notch which is why I put something under it.
