I need a JACK

[cybercoffee]

I ended up getting this one from Harbor Freight: https://www.harborfreight.com/20-ton-heavy-duty-hydraulic-bottle-jack-58835.html - $89.99 Retail, I had a coupon and got 20% off when I bought it.

Worked great from swapping wheels and tires today along with the jack stands I already have.

@TeslaKen Did you have to screw the Jack pad upwards to get 20 inch clearance with this model? Thanks.

Yes but not the entire way but yes that's how you'd get to the max lift amount.

Did you go to medium height?

Yes I start at medium height but I think it would work fine for high as well.

I bought this one today from oreilly auto. It says 18" max. $65:

It gets the tires off the ground. My first try was with the truck set to medium, jack mode on, and the jack screw 1/2 way up. The tire lifted a bit, but I wanted it higher. interestingly, when I lowered the jack the truck didn't come all the way down, so that made it easy to extend the screw, get the jack in place and get the tire higher off the ground. Worked for a rear tire as well. Seems like setting the truck to high might work better than medium.

I got the same jack. It does the job but it's heavy.

I needed to put the truck on the "high" height to get the jack to fit. I also extended the jack to the maximum height by unscrewing the top to get the tire to come off the ground. It all worked though.

I also got a hard case off Amazon to store it, when not in use. And to make it easier to transport in the bed.
