I've had it for a few years and it finally crapped out, whats a good reliable jack to lift my runner up?

I bought this one because it's gets lower (4") compared with others in it's capacity range (was very important to me), and still lifts just as high as others, and handles 3.5 tons easy.

NAPA 3.5 Ton Floor Jack

 

Huh? You say snap on but you linked to craftsman jacks.


I had a craftsman jack for about 2 years before it leaked on me, and sears said they diddnt have any way to fix it, just to buy a new one.

I bought a MUCH better one from Harbor Freight for half the price, and it works great. Came with a seal repair kit in the box in case it leaks.

I'll NEVER buy another craftsman jack.

 

I bought a 3 ton "Power Built" jack from Checkers Auto...was sale for $60 and has a 3 year warranty.

 

I have a craftsman 3ton that I am real happy with. I did however have to weld a extended lift plate to accomodate for the lift on my Runner. The floor jack wouldn't touch the frame at full extention.

 

I bought that same powerjack (but I think it is a 6 ton or something) for 20 bucks from kragen (its a bottlejack, right?). I think it is a good jack to carry in the event of a flat, etc... or something. Its also one of the only jacks that can lift my truck up off the ground because of ground clearance and lift issues....

as much as i hate to recommend harbor freight's chinese made stuf(buy american or one of our allies like japan), their floor jacks are excellent.
