There is a Larin website:
https://larincorp.com/
Not really sure if they are a manufacturer or an importer. I know in the past there were Autozone Duralast jacks that were “made by Larin“. I’m unaware of any Larin rebuild kits.
If that main office isn’t of any help, this may be the case where you have to measure every seal individually and try to source them wherever you can find it. Yeah, that’ll be 30 minutes to take apart the jack, 3 hours to measure seals, and 3 days to find 50% of the seals, and 3 weeks to find the other 45% of the seals you need. The last few seals are probably some oddball size where you need to order a quantity of 1000 to get. How much effort you put into this is up to you, sometimes people consider jacks “disposable”, not because of the money cost, but rather the time cost. Sorry I’m cynical today. I Must be tired.
Good luck.

Yeah, I emailed the company but based on other people’s comments I don’t think I will get anywhere. It has a minor leak in the back but is still able to lift my Silverado no problem. I guess when it really craps out I will go through the trouble of attempting a rebuild.

So I found a similar jack on the internet but it doesn’t have the foot pump lever. Do you think they are universal for rebuild kits?
Mine looks similar and has a foot pump too - Model GJ6600

If “in the back” means you Already know exactly what is leaking, then replacing only the seals/o rings that are associated with the leaking area can be done. That would likely minimize the effort down to just a few O-Ring or seals. I believe the most experienced hydraulic folks on GJ recommend doing full rebuilds, to assure all relevant seals are new and the system gets cleaned from contaminants, and there are no valve seating issues. But then there are a lot of people that do just partial fixes and have success. On the other hand, there are even more people that just live with “minor leaks” for decades.
