I've been using this jack from Tractor Supply, like most things the price has gone up 30% the past year.
All in 1 jack.

I used one of those when installing my add-a-leaf kit to my truck and never thought I'd be able to afford one!

I carry (and consider myself reasonably competent with) a hi-lift jack and have several sizes of hydraulic bottle and floor jacks around the shop but the most used is a little four ton that weighs only 6-7 lbs and has a range of maybe 8-15 inches. I actually seldom use any sort of jack for off-roading recovery (just don’t get stuck that much) but that small jack is extremely useful around the house and the farm. A few hardwood blocks add to its versatility.

I've got this being dropped off at the house today!
If you're lucky and you catch it at the right time, you can get it on Amazon for less than $60. I had it in my cart yesterday morning for $57.99, but it was out of stock with a projected delivery of August 30th. I waffled on it, and went to the bathroom instead of finishing the order, and by the time I got back they were back in stock and up to $67.99. I ordered it since I want to work on my brakes this weekend, and as of this morning the price was back down! Damn it! HAHAHA

I recommend a Ford SuperDuty two-stage bottle jack to most of my friends, you can find them on ebay for $75 and they lift quite high.

I bought one and it was absolute junk. As in valves leaked, handle did not fit well, weld looked cheap. I took it back ad back and bought an integrated bottle jack/jack stand on Amazon, Way better.

Came here to say the same thing. It’s still a tad short for my LR3 (gotta lift on the frame due to IFS/IRS) so I made an 11” square out of 2 layers of 2x6. It adds height and also floatation if your on soft ground.

Brennan’s Garage developed a jack they call the “Tauler Jack”, an alternative to a hi-lift.
Don’t have one, but think it’s interesting

Tauler Jack Kit
Note: Summer 2025 update. 2.25 kits have been staying in stock. 2.5lite kits are still a short run low volume seller, but currently in stock with minimal lead time if you happen to fall between batches (as of July 2025) A recent rush from an excellent article written on Fourwheeler sent sales...
