Which Floor Jacks and Jack Stands do you recommend/NOT recommend

[Janster]

We have Harbor Freight 6-ton Jack stands….. but they were purchased 25 years ago. The red one is BIG RED. I don’t know if the quality is still the same today. We have two orange & two red.

I got a all-steel Arcan 3.5 Ton low-profile jack from Costco something like 10-15 years ago that has served me well. I needed low profile because I tend to keep at least one vehicle in the garage that's too low for standard floor jacks. After buying the jeep, I bought an extension pad from 911 Motorsports that I can use to extend the range of the jack, and that setup is working really well with the Gladiator, and definitely put it's time in when I recently installed my lift.

I have some cheapo 2.5 or 3-ton jack stands that don't lock, and this thread has me thinking it's time to replace those and that I should count my lucky stars that I've never had an accident. Those stands weren't tall enough for installing the lift on the Gladiator, so I bought a set of the Harbor Freight 12-ton stands. They are surprisingly nice and definitely have more safety features than my old set that I should probably just toss in the trash.

Always get jack stands with locking pin.

For tall enough vehicles the Badlands off-road jack has been and is l my favorite floor jack. I've been using it since before all the utube guys got them. Now jack stands I miss my over kill ones but 6t H.F are OK and a set of 3t brand I don't remember. Not for anything not stable though. Wide stance is better. That said my T.T. is setting on 8in concrete blocks and 2x6 boards right now, but not a "vehicle". I had 20 plus ton rated jack stands in the past. My old floor jack was a 3 or 4 ton it felt like that was it's weight if carried. I gave it away after not wanting to pick it up again.

I took advantage of this.. $95 was a bargain. I just used it for the first time rotating the wife's tires. Sure beats the scissor jack!! The non-aluminum construction is heavy AF though.

Obviously, black is the correct color choice... It's very slimming, makes it easier to maneuver!

As for Jack stands... I have a stack of 2x12x12s that have never failed me.
