Looking for a good floor jack

I'm in the market for a new floor jack. One that will work on my daughters Corolla to my Ford F-350 diesel. What are you guys using or do you guys recommend?

 

Not sure, but you might need two jacks to cover that spread! I have a heavy duty truck jack (old 3.5 ton Craftsman) that I use for my Taco / FJ Cruiser, but that jack won't even roll under my wife's Camry when it is fully down! I have a separate low profile jack (harbor freight) for use when working on her car.

 

The 3ton Snap-on knockoff by Daytona at Harbor Freight. The thing is a beast, and excellent quality for the price. also a low profile version..

 

Eagle might make one with that adapter.

 

2nd vote for the 3 ton Daytona. Great jack and you can’t beat the Harbor Freight price/discount.

 

I have this one, works great for the lady's focus and truck

 

A low profile jack for Corolla and your trucks. You can also use a steel cross beam attachment, when working on the truck. Both are sold by Harbor Freight...

 

I bought one of these when needing to lift some heavy (non-auto) stuff. The first one blew right away on the first pump... (Maybe 100 lbs load - Clearly defective) the second (upon returning the first) worked well.

Now I have it for use with the vehicles... I use a piece of 6 x 8 on the sliders to lift one side at a time on the taco. It barely fits under our other car...

 

I bought an OTC 3 ton jack on the jungle company a few years ago for $180.

Sure it's made in China like the rest of them, but at least OTC gives you a parts sheet to fix it vs. the Harbor Freight stuff. I'm pretty hard on floor jacks

 

I bought a used big orange floor jack years ago from one of these equipment sales outfits at a local K of C parking lot when they had a weekend sale going on. No markings of any type on the jack. I suspect it was old as it had heavy steel wheels. For $25 it still works great, but boy is it big and heavy. You'd need two people to lift it in your truck.

 

Is 3 ton jack safe for f350?

 

In theory 3 ton is enough, since you are only picking up about 60% of the total truck weight. Depending on configuration, some of the F350’s can get real heavy. For example… a Limited 4WD Crew Cab 8' Box weighs approximately 8132 lbs. In that case, jack stands will play a major role when it comes to safety,
