I just do occasional work on my vehicles and have a small floor jack but wanted to get one that can accommodate these trucks as well. Probably won't get much use (as the truck is so high I can practically sit under it to change the oil!), but I might want to rotate the tires myself. I don't want to spend a lot of money on something that may get used once or twice a year, so what do you guys think of this Pittsburgh 3 ton jack from Harbor Freight that is on sale for $119 through tomorrow? It lifts up to almost 20 inches which should be fine for the truck, and has a minimum of 3 1/8" so should work on my car as well. I have read good things about the Daytona jacks, even on this forum, but for someone that is not going to use it much, how does this look?
A couple other questions while I am at it: Is it ok to lift the rear of the truck by the differential, and what height of jack stands would you need to get the rear wheels off the ground? Would these 3 ton stands work that are on sale for $32? They have a range of 11 3/8 to 16 7/8" Thanks!
