i can get 2 wheels on and off with mine... never tried doing all 4. but im sure it can...

 

Don't know and don't care to try.

I don't care what the OEM says (BTW- I am not sure) but 150 ft lbs is WAY too much in my book anyway.

I have never gone over 120 lbs. in 20 years of being involved in racing everything from go-karts, legend cars, late models and dirt modified along with drag racing and all my daily drivers. Never once had a problem.

Am I wrong, maybe..Oh well I don't wear a seat belt either.

I was just trying to get a little info out about some cordless guns out there that don' break the bank for the guy thinking about getting something for the track. I am more then happy with my Snap on and I have nothing against Dewalt considering I own a 12v xrp driver, 12v right angle driver, 2 18 v drivers, 24 volt driver, 24 v recip, 24 v circular , miter saw, table saw, palm sander, belt sander, 18v radio and 18v vacuum and I am sure i am leaving out something . So yeah I am a big Dewalt guy. Just ask Rob02. Hell I probaly paid your bonus.LOL

BTW- What happened to the 24 v miter I heard was coming out a few years ago. Did I miss it or did it never come out.

But you will not see me torqing lugnuts to 150 ft. lbs.

Cordless impact guns wars...who woulda thunk it

LOL I have that goodyear ....works great i used it to remove and install my exhaust and for the wheels....really comes in handy and is the BEST tool for the money.....and you can get spare batteries at pepboys as well

 

Ok, who's going to do a test on light weight floor jacks for use at the track...

 

prolly never came out... 24v wasnt a real big hit...
i was just saying if your gunna spend 400 on the snap on save yourself 100 bucks and get the dewalt its a better unit

and what bonus??? i aint seen chit

 

i use the craftsman alluminum 4000lb capacity unit...4000 is plenty since your only lifting half the truck....and this jack is much lighter than a normal steel unit...and looks PIMP BABY !!
the GF got it for me for x-mas....works great.....

 

The Snap-on has done 3 complete changes (all four wheels on and off)
on three Lightnings at the track. And it recharges in about 20 minutes
in the cigarette lighter thing. 150 ft. lbs. is no problem for this monster.

But, you get what you pay for.

As an aside, if you are using a Harbor Freight or Sears or any jack that
"levers" itself under the truck (Doesn't go STRAIGHT up) be VERY careful
on lifting under the jack points on the front of the truck. Mine slipped
right off the front of the jack and took out the wiring harness that runs
alongside the frame rail AND my nitrous line and wiring, as it guillotined
the stuff between the jack pad and the cab mounting point. ( Ouch! )

Spent the first session doing butt-joint repairs to get back on track.

Also, my jack points have been FLATTENED over the three years because
of frequent lifting I believe.... They USED to be "V" shaped, now they are
"W" shaped ... The center part just pushed down.

The Mootang crowd has jacking bars on their cars, and can lift the whole
side at once to rotate tires front to back. I am looking at doing something
like that because if you lift under the door on the "C" rail it bends the
frame. < Cheap *** steel >

Just my two cents worth ...




METADATA: JACKING POINTS, LIGHTWEIGHT, ROAD COURSE, IMPACT WRENCH

 

I got a low-profile jack that is only 3,000 lbs max lift and its very light weight too.......I jack the truck one wheel at a time and use the jack stands
I got it for my b-day, I think it was bought at Sam's club for $79.00 or so
its a Goodyear with FORD RACING STICKERS on it........

 

Already been done ... I will find it when I get home.

i almost never use the front jack points i put the jack under the front crossmember, and lift the whole front at once.....in the back i use the pumpkin

 

V

THIS POST IS USELESS PERIOD

And you laugh at my post



BTW
Next time include my $19.99 Cig Lighter Gun and I'll Whoop both :santa:

 

how much are those? i bench 350 but my heavy *** jack is still a PIA to lug around all the time.

 

And your front cross member is bent to sheat

 

Thats the same one I use...It works the best out of all the ones I have tried

 

I have this same jack. I like it a lot, the only problem is that it will not lift 4000lbs like it claims. It isn't quite powerful enough to lift the entire front of the Lightning, you have to do one side at a time, but it lifts the rear just fine. I thought I had a faulty unit and had it replaced by Sears only to have the replacement not be able to lift the front of the truck either. It's a good tool, but should be rated correctly at around 2500-3000 lbs.
