DIY trans jack?

[Rickenbackerman]

Hey guys,
I've already one of the HF trans adapters to convert your floor jack into a trans jack. I've got my four post set up now and would like a high lift trans jack to make things easier. Since I've already got the adapter, I'd just need the gigantic cylinder and I could weld up a base from square stock and bolt some casters on.

Anybody know where to source a high lift hydraulic jack? Two stage maybe?
Looked around some and didn't see much.

edit: I should mention that it needs to have a flat base with four mounting holes, that's the issue - I see lots of long ram jack, but none with the kind of base I'd need.

I think your gonna be money ahead just buying a High Lift Trans Jack, especially if your looking into 2 stage.

i bought a high lift trans jack from Harbor Freight awhile back. got it on sale for 79.99 not hardly worth the time to build your own .

If need a good trans jack, find a used one. Messing up a transmission costs way more than a really nice jack.
