How to make floor jack higher.

If you use wood to raise the jack for a higher lift put the board on the floor and the jack on top of it i have used 1x6x30 to sit my floor jack on it and it helps be sure if you get under the vehicle after you raise it use a good jack stand please be safe i had a car fall on me and crush my l5 vertebra because a jack stand collapsed yes it was new and was a 4000 lb stand it had. The maximum lifting capacity of this floor jack is an impressive 3 5 tons or 7000 lbs which is higher than most competing models of floor jack making it an ideal model to use for lifting trucks or other particularly heavy vehicles with ease. I bought a floor jack recently that advertises a 14 75 lift but it doesn t lift quite enough to fit my truck. Always be careful when doing this and make sure you are on flat ground.

More so floor jacks are easily manipulated under and around the vehicle to lift it with ease. I nearly fell out of the falcon when i saw the price tag on these. By lifting your vehicle high above the ground jacks allow you to be able to do necessary repairs and maintenance of the car. This is an easy project that involves turning down one end of aluminum stock on a lathe and drilling a hole on the opposite end.

They look great though. Bigger jack stands is the way to go and will probably adjust higher than you can jack the car. Ben apr 15 16 at 20 47. I have this guy in carbonite in my basement i could sell him.

They can raise the car to an impressive height depending on the particular type of the floor jack.
