I got this 2-Ton Aluminum Racing Jack (Model #50239) at Sears about a year ago:

Keep in mind that if you want to do tire rotations, you're almost better off to get (4) jack stands so you can get the whole truck in the air without having to continually move your jack and stands around the truck.

. . . just curious but what makes it a "racing" jack? :devil:

I think the "racing" designation comes into play with jacks that need very few handle pumps to fully raise the lifting arm. My jack only takes two or three pumps to fully raise the arm, while other jacks I have owned in the past have taken quite a few more.

I also think the all aluminum construction has something to do with it because of it's relatively light weight. (Think about a pit crew guy lugging a jack around to the far side of a race car.) Many jacks will be all steel (or a combination of steel and aluminum) construction -- the "racing" jacks tend to be all aluminum.

That's my understanding of it, anyways....

on the money /\/\/\ :bows:

I have the same exact jack, works great, but a little heavy. And its starting to drip a little. I recommend it

RP, the travel on both front and rear wheels, when jacking up just one at a time was no more than just a few inches. I used just the jack with no brick helpers on top and was able to get the wheels off the ground with lots to spare.

The gift cards have been burned... LOL!

I bought a new tool box (ball bearing baby!) and found a kit with a jack, creeper, and two tiny jack stands for $100. I figured, why not?

Thanks again for the help folks. My KLEEN WHEELS will go on the truck tomorrow or Monday if all goes as planned.

RP :D

I bought a Craftsman jack with stands about a year ago for about $120. I got it when I put the 2" leveling kit on and it works great. Low price and easy to use. Not sure of the specs, but it works fine for my truck. :thumbsup:
