| yup, seems like a silly question. I had left my 4 ton shop jack behind bc there was simply no room for that huge heavy beast. (I gave it to a neighbor) I loved that jack, one quick pump to load and a another few to raise to max height if needed. What size are you folks using on your FJ? I see 3 and 3.5 Ton jacks from Summit at a decent price. just a quick distraction from our ongoing move... I`ll need a good jack real soon... Thanks folks!, Andy...  |

| I bought a Powerbuilt Unijack 6000 from Pep Boys a few months back and I love it. Jack and stand in one! Works well for the FJ's height.

| I like the concept of that, but still need a service jack for the garage so it can multitask  |

| I love the Arcan XL35. It's a heavy beast, but it can slide under a lowered sports car with ease, but still raise my lifted FJ enough that the tires clear the ground. Mine's 5 years old now and has been perfect. It's seen a lot of NCFJ members trucks in the past few years as well. | |

| I have a 3 ton from Northern tool, used my discount card and it was pretty cheap. It's been working fine for 3 years now so no complaints.
Shipping on a jack is going to be hefty, I'd look local. | |
