    Craftsman 2-ton aluminum jack(red). Been through 3 of them. Great jack but does not like anything near 2-tons. Goes to poop shortly after. About to get another one.

    I've got a Duralast 2 or 3 ton jack. I have to drive my car onto wooden planks to fit it under now. Ahh, the low life.

    Re: what jacks is everyone using

    I've been using the Harbor Freight $90 aluminum race jack for the past 5 years or so. Love it. It has a very low height so has fit under all my lowered cars without issues. It also gets the car plenty high to get under it for exhaust work etc.

    Re: what jacks is everyone using

    hmm I've been through 2 craftsman red floor jacks.. worked great but leaked after a year or two.. I have a black craftsman now.. bigger and heavier, but doesn't lift too fast.. i do like craftsman though, don't use them too much since I got my bendpak lift :D

    Re: what jacks is everyone using

    I got a 2-ton prolift one from Advance Auto Parts and it broke after about 6 uses. I got a new one from them for free but it isn't quality stuff so stay away. I guess you live and learn. I'm also on my second stock jack, the original widow maker almost killed me.

    DK20 AC hydraulics. The last jack you'll ever need to buy. I've had mine for over 6 years and never a failure, just needed to top off the fluid in it recently.
