So i decided to make a 3 5 extension to give it a little extra lift.
How to make floor jack higher.
They can raise the car to an impressive height depending on the particular type of the floor jack.
I nearly fell out of the falcon when i saw the price tag on these.
The way a diy 2 x 4 jack works is through the simple manipulation of leverage as the essential craftsman explains by taking advantage of the mechanical power that two slightly slanted edges can.

The maximum lifting capacity of this floor jack is an impressive 3 5 tons or 7000 lbs which is higher than most competing models of floor jack making it an ideal model to use for lifting trucks or other particularly heavy vehicles with ease.
They look great though.
If you use wood to raise the jack for a higher lift put the board on the floor and the jack on top of it i have used 1x6x30 to sit my floor jack on it and it helps be sure if you get under the vehicle after you raise it use a good jack stand please be safe i had a car fall on me and crush my l5 vertebra because a jack stand collapsed yes it was new and was a 4000 lb stand it had.
By lifting your vehicle high above the ground jacks allow you to be able to do necessary repairs and maintenance of the car.
This is how you jack up a car really high with a rapid pump jack.
I bought a floor jack recently that advertises a 14 75 lift but it doesn t lift quite enough to fit my truck.
Always be careful when doing this and make sure you are on flat ground.
Bigger jack stands is the way to go and will probably adjust higher than you can jack the car.
