Short Jack Syndrome, sorry to hear about that. You are brave to bring it out in public.
By the way, welcome.
Also, don't try to lift by the wheel flare, mud flap, or running board. You won't like it.

I used northern tool for my 3.5 ton hilift floor jack and 3 ton jack stands. I also have heavy duty suv rhino ramps from local auto parts place.
I have older 2 ton floor jack and jack stands when i need to lower an axle or wheel (coil spring removal) while the bigger set holds up the Ex.

Costco usually has Arcan jacks for a good price. I got my 3.5 ton Arcan from Costco a few years back and it has been great... paid $100 for it. I like the 6 ton jack stands from Harbor Freight...They are always on sale or use a coupon...

I too have the 3.5 ton Arcan from Costco. However for a while they have been running the 2.5 ton aluminum.

Apocalypse- the link was more for reference than cost. Shipping estimated for me came out to $65. I also got mine at costco for $130 plus tax a few years ago.
For the rhino ramps which rating are you going with? I see them for 12k lbs and 16k lbs. Thinking these would be great for the back truck tires when I use the car trailer with ramps to get low cars on and off.

Ahhhh, just making sure 
I would never buy one "online" because of shipping personally but I have an app that pulls up items on other sites for lower prices when I look at them. I went to your link and it told me about mine, only reason I mentioned it I don't use jacks, I just lift the truck with one hand and slide the jack stand under with the other but to each his own I guess...
