High Lift Jack: Where to buy?
Anyone have any good suggestions on where to buy a jack for the bronco? We have a 2" lift on it currently...nothing serious but obviously the everyday floor jack will not work. I'm still new to the Bronco so trying to figure out where to get a good jack and which one to buy. Basically only to change tires. No orff-roading, etc.
Thanks!

I bought my Hi Lift at a farm supply store. It is the hi lift brand too. They are usually cheaper at the supply stores than buying them from the other sources.

You don't want a hi-lift for everyday tire changing. They are great and necessary on the trail, but they are really a dangerous jack to use routinely. As already stated, medium priced floor jack will work great and use it under the axle and use stands to be safe. The only thing that will affect your ability to use a floor jack is tire diameter - not lift. |

Perfect. Thanks for all of the replys. I already have a 2 1/2 ton floor jack so I should be good. I had someone tell me I needed a high lift jack. Glad to know I don't! Thanks again for the replies.

If you do need a high lift some day, the best place I found was Tractor Supply. It was about $15 cheaper than any 4 wheel drive store and is exactly the same jack. They started out as a ranch jack used for pulling fence posts and stretching wire.
