As I get older it is getting harder for me to jack up my heavy 9600lb RV conversion van for service with floor and bottle jacks. Rear end weighs about 6000lb. Looking for a recommendation on pneumatic airbag jacks. Also interested in any other recommendations.

Here is a cheap one (Chinese). Says it can lift 6600lb.

I've been looking at these as well and the only thing that has kept me from pulling the trigger is the max lift height. Fifteen inches of max lift only gives about five inches of lift if I'm using it on my truck. I haven't seen any extensions offered on the ones I've looked at and I'm not excited about a stack of Jenga blocks on top of the jack either.

That was my feeling as well, I need the lift for 2 Jeeps and a full size van. I thought of sitting it on top of 2x10 laminated beam scraps I have, instead of blocks on the top of the jack. My buddy has it for his cars and says it works nicely.

I received one Thursday. It is the 10.5K model. It came with two air chucks. I have as of yet to use it however my knees already are thanking me.

Update, I wanted to check the brakes on my F150. This was the first time I used this. What a huge difference. I should have had one of these a long time ago. Wonderful to have as long as you have air pressure. I have the 10.5 K model
