dont be scared of craftsman, im a fan. no matter what people say. look at the specs. tonage, min hight and max might. the parents bought me a nice little jack; nice and low for my aired out 86 pickup. not enough hight thou. my 2 1/2 ton squeezes just fine under it, and high enough for my tahoe.

i have had a craftsman 3-ton for a couple years with no problems at all. used to use my dads 2.5 ton craftsman for 10? years. it finally blew a seal last year, couldn't find a rebuild kit for it. picked mine up with a pair of jack stands and a cheapo creeper on special for around $125.

You get what you pay for- spend the extra money on quality- you will thank yourself next time you are underneath your truck while its suspended in the air

haha i bet. that would be a pain in the ass..
No matter if you lower your truck or raise it, youll always find gay ass problems. cant find a jack big enough for the truck, cant even slide a jack under your truck.. the hell with it lol

I bought an AC Deleco 3 1/2 ton I believe from O'Reilly Auto Parts. Have had for around 6 months works good and I think was like $200.

I have always liked using the jacks that have longer handles, they seem to be easier to manage especially with a heavier vehicle like a Tahoe.

Anyone have any experience with these Torin (T83006 & T43006) 3 ton products?
Both are advertised as "SUV" applications with MAX 21" lift.
