The Floor Jack Thread
Here's my new jack and my opinion of it. Post yours.
We all know, lifted jeeps are a pain with standard floor jacks. Everyone will say lift from the axle... yada yada, you only need 17 inches of lift... yada yada.
Heres how I feel. I dont like putting flat wood under a round axle and put the lift under there, its not locked on, and I just do not like it. I was under a jeep(BB) once when a jack failed. It had tires, so im not dead, but when you are under there and the truck falls, you take your jacking very seriously.
The other JL guys make fun of me because while they are jacking the truck up, Im distributing 6 jack stands to different locations underneith.
I wanted a jack with a good lift rating, and I wanted it to be able to lift the truck HIGH. I wanted the option to lift the truck from the frame rail.
The jack I ended up with is the Ranger RJF-2TX. Its 31 inches of lift was what did it for me. I can stretch the suspension without lifting the truck, or I can lift it completely.
Lift from the frame, or lift from the axle.
This jack is a little more expensive than others, but the pros to it make it stand alone.
