Recommended floor jacks?
I'm tired of using the jack that came with my 4th gen. I got some old, steel stands, just need to get a proper jack. Recommendations?

If you don't mind spending a little more and you have a Northern Tool nearby, the Arcan xl35 is very nice. "68 of 68(100%)would recommend this product to a friend". I've haven't had this one for very long, but it's looks and feels much better than the HF stuff, has dual pump pistons for quicker lifting, and is a 3 1/2 ton (not that you would need it). IMHO with the lawsuits flying and people jumping ship at HF corporate, HF wont be around much longer.

I hear that. I've been saving for my 3.5 swap for a while now and a new jack was on my list. The xl35 was the one I settled on after doing my own research. The $30-40 kobalt jack I got from lowes lasted a couple years, but recently it has trouble getting my car up and keeping it up long enough to get jack stands in position.

I find it interesting that the HF hydraulic jacks are American made (sells mainly cheap China stuff) and as far as I have seen so far, the Craftsman hydraulic jacks (Sears I thought sold mainly American made stuff) are made in China. Food for thought. Not really trying to make a point, cause everything is made in China. Even my expensive leather work boots .

If it's just for around the garage, I'd buy a cheap 3 ton jack. I bought mine at Pep Boys like 10 years ago and it's still going. I know a few guys that use the 4000lb HF aluminum jacks at the race track. They're pretty decent too. Stay away from the $59 aluminum HF jack.
