Default Floor Jacks

Just curious what floor jacks people use? I can't seem to find one with a decent lift height??

I got mine from Sears about 16 years ago. I only use it to rotate the tires or a brake job. My Jeep is high enough to change oil and such already.
One nice feature the new ones have is the quick lift that quickly lifts the jack with 1 or 2 strokes instead of having to jack it 25 times like mine.
Height wise I think they are all about the same. I do have 4x4's if I need a lil more though.

I got mine from Sears a long time ago and it was a package deal w/jack stands..

Now I need a block of wood on top of the jack because the Jeep is too tall..

Amen to Sears. Watch the circulars in the Sunday paper, they always bundle a good 3T jack with stands. I like most Craftsman stuff.

I got a 3 ton SUV floor jack and jack stands from Home Depot. Think I paid about 80 bucks total with tax.
