floor jack height
I'm going to start working on my truck. I'm am in the process of buying a floor jack but was wondering what is the minimum height it should be able to crank up to and also how heavy a load should it be able to hold. I have a stock 94 pickup 4x4 with 31" tires. Looking to lift it an 1.5" with bj spacers in the future. Would a 19.5" max height jack be enough to lift the tires off the ground? How high should the jackstands be able to go? Thanks for the help. Sorry to ask a such a dumb quest. but I gotta start somewhere.

None of the factory recommended lift points are anywhere near 19.5" off the ground. I don't think you would have a problem. Go out and measure the different points with a tape measure to see how far they are off the ground. I usually jack up the rear by placing the jack under the axle and the front by jacking up the front crossmember where the A arm swivels.

Theres always gonna be times where you need to put a block on the jack to get it up where you need it. Spend the money on a good the first time around to, I bought a junk one the first time and lasted about 4 months. Then I bought on of these, and have never had any problems
It will go from 3 3/4 to 18 1/2 with about 3 pumps, untill theres weight on it.
