I remember a couple of threads on this, can anyone point me to a cheap (<$400) aluminum floor jack?

Not under $400, but you may be able to find it at a lower price elsewhere.

Again:

Not under $400, but another option:

If anyone finds one of these under 400 bucks, please let me know.

Why in Zeus's name would anyone spend $500+ on a jack, unless they plan to leave it in the truck while they race? Who are they made by, Rolex? I fail to see why they cost so damned much; material costs can't be much more for aluminum than steel, and fabrication should be easier. Maybe if they were made of titanium/boron alloy and inlaid with rubies? I paid $45 for a 3000 lb. floor jack at Sears, and it only weighs 54 lbs. To save $550 bucks I think I can lift the extra nineteen lbs. into the truck myself. Hell, i could hire someone to do it and still save a bundle of money.

 

You're right doggy, I got a little compact $29.00 floor jack in the back of my truck and a 3 1/2 ton HD Carolina floor jack in the garage....($65.00)

 

They have them at costcos for $349 and it is WELL WORTH IT.I use it all the time and I like it a lot.

alphadoogy- no flame but your sig shows you spend a lot of money on your truck.So think of this as a $349 mod that you can use on all your vehicles.Again no flame.
