This is a better idea for a jack ...
I just got a great thing from Harbor Freight. Its an innovative new jack (see pic). No crawling under or fighting with a floor jack, you just roll it to the tire you want to lift - and pump it up with the foot pedal.
Also, b/c it lifts the tire, it has a very good lift height. A floor jack only starts to lift once it reaches the frame contact point. On a truck (or especially off-roader) that can be pretty high.

That wouldnt be bad for the garage if youre going to use jack stands would kind of suck if thats all you had and you had a flat

Better in some ways but not for all. It would be a pain in the ass to change a tire using that jack. I like a good ol' 3 ton garage jack for all my truck lifting needs.

You are right - it does need a jack-stand for any tire work.

I like the idea for trucks because they sit so much higher and have a lot more supension travel. The only thing that sucks about it is for supension and tire work it wouldnt work. I might buy one(I wouldnt get rid of the normal floor jack though).What I really want is a lift!That would be nice.

For real. I've been telling myself for years that whenever I actually move out and get my own house I'm kinda have a lift.
