3 inch lift what jack to use?

My truck has a 3 inch lift on it an I need to get a jack so I can take my tires off an do basic Maintenance on my truck. Anyone have any good jack that are not pore quality but not super expensive?

 

anyone know any good jacks? I am looking at possibly buying one today...

 

I have two pieces of 2x8 laying in the bed of my truck so I can use the stock jack easily.

 

hmm ok i was seeing if their was a way around the wood lol

 

Hi-Lift FTW

 

its the only jack i thinkw ill work on my truck since my lift, no other jack will reach my frame, glad i got my sliders finished soon after

 

I would get a high lift but not bumpers or sliders... i just need something for my driveway lol not on the trails...

 

i just got a michelin jack for $150

 

If you jack from a suspension point that keeps the suspension compressed (under the rear axle for instance) you don't need nearly as much lift.

 

For the home I have a good 2 ton floor jack, got it at Sears about 15 years ago, and it works great. Of course, I use stands as well.

On the trail nothing beats a high-lift jack. ARB sells a good one and has lots of accessory mount points that can be temporarily or permanently attached to your vehicle, so you don't need custom bumpers and sliders.

One idea I haven't tried but it looks great is an air-bag jack. They inflate a bag from your exhaust fumes and apparently really work well? ARB sells one for a few hundred bucks. If anyone has one and has used it please chime in - I want one if they turn out to be as great as they sound?
