Awesome, thanks guys! Is there a functional difference between these 2 jacks (other than name, price and lifting capacity)?

Go with the hi-lift, anything from harbor freight is notoriously cheap, flimsy, known to break, one time use only items. In 30 years of wheeling, I have only needed my hi-lift to save the day maybe 4 or 5 times that I can remember. Using any type of jack in a worse case scenario is not the time to be relying upon cheap equipment to save you or others.

Well, yes and no! I'm in the U.S. But traveling between work on the east coast and Phoenix makes it almost worse than being overseas. As soon as I returned from Afghanistan, took a short vacation out to Coronado, CA. Then immediately hit the road for a world rally cup racing school, Alaska for two weeks to train some soldiers, found time to do some landscaping at home, ran the JK Experience two weeks ago, now I'm back in Baltimore for two weeks. Living the dream my brother! It's the only way of life I know for now
