Jack and jack stands

[chaos254]

After trying to use my jack the other day to lift my truck. I realized it and my jack stands are not tall enough. Time to invest in a new jack and stands. Any suggestions on what to go with?

This jack has a height of 20.5 inches.

Blocks of 4x4 wood go a long way towards increasing the lift height of jacks, though you'd still need new stands.

I got six ton jack stands. They can handle the weight and go high enough for anything I have done in my truck.

I got a set of US Jack stands... 6 tons [they are individually rated and made in the US]

They'll go up to 25 inches or so, and are pretty heavy duty, I keep a set in the tool box while wheelin'

I got a pair for $75 but it looks like they went up a bit in price.

I use harbor freight for some stuff but no way I'd get under something being supported by a harbor freight stand.

I have the 60" Hi-Lift jack, and it perfect for many situations.

I just picked up a set of the 12 ton Harbor Freights. They are overkill for a Hummer, but I have other uses as well. Very well made set of stands and a great price. I know someone else mentioned a safety concern over Harbor Freight products. I don't know that's warranted, especially after seeing them in person.
