Harbor freight 2.5 ton Floor jack

[bluechevy94]

I am in the process of doing an engine swap in my truck.I am going from a V6 to V8 and will need to change the motor mounts.To do so I need to Jack the front up and drop the a arms to get to the bolts inside the frame.My current floor Jack wont go high enough.I have a coupon for the HF 2.5 ton Jack and 6 ton Jack stands.I don't really need another Jack but its something that I could use and I have a good excuse now to buy one(although my wife thinks I really need one) .This is the Jack in question. http://www.harborfreight.com/25-ton-heavy-duty-floor-jack-with-rapid-pump-68049.htmlAnyone have one of these?If so how do you like it?

ive used the three ton and i like it alot... whats your coupon for? i k now the 3 ton has a coupon for 69.99 all the time.

 

[bluechevy94]

The coupon is for $74.99 on the 2.5 ton.I have one for the 3 ton as well.Was thinking about the 2.5 ton because it is a little lower profile but has a higher maximum height than the 3 ton.The lower profile will make it nice when I have to do oil change and tire rotations on the wife's grand prix.

oh shoot didnt see the side profile....i want to get this one too cause i have to lift an accord coupe and a lifted jeep so i need a big swing...i wonder if theres a better coupon out there

 

[bluechevy94]

As far as I know the $74.99 one is the only coupon for the 2.5 ton.

damn it! just bought a 2.5 last week at full price.
heavy ******, it is.
doesn't take alot of strokes to get it fully erected.
i assume HF wont readjust a price, will they?

Take the coupon in the store and they will refund the difference.I have done it many times.

Also here are two websites for HF coupons.They also have the inside track coupons you print as well.I don't have an inside tracker membership but I use those coupons all the time.Everytime HF puts out new coupons these two sites will have them.

why not get a 3 tons jack/ or above, you can lift heavier cars/trucks.

2.5 has nearly a 2'' height lifting advantage over the 3t

What he said plus the the 2.5 ton has a minimum height of 3 3/8" where as the 3 ton is 5.May not seem like alot but that extra 1 5/8 inches of clearance makes a big difference. For what I do 2.5 ton is plenty enough.If I need something heavier I will use my trusty old bottle Jack.

I can get this under my camaro rocker panel without having someone lift up on it. The 3 ton wouldn't clear.
