That's That's pretty cool little jack.

I was actually hoping you'd found one that would work as a mobile jack... mine is lifted and the one time I had a flat I had to forage for wood to change the tire with my extra length HF jack. That was no fun.

My old harbor freight jack finally died after a few years. My only complaint is I ran into issues where it just didn't have enough lift height! Unfortunately, I can't remember how high it would lift.

So, I am looking for a new jack, but the 3 to 4 ton jacks I have found all lift under 20", Which might be enough. You can get one that goes over 20", but I'm not spending $300+

Then I ran across this Arcan Floor Jack.


24" lift is nice, but its only 2 Tons. I know our trucks are only about 4800 pounds fully loaded, but will 2 Tons really be heavy duty enough to lift the truck one end at a time to get on stands without pushing its limits?

And to be completely transparent, I like the fact that is low profile so it will go under my Bimmer!
