I've got this 4 ton unit from Craftsman: Craftsman 4 ton Floor Jack - Model 50156 at Sears.com I've been happy with it and it's worked well for me over the last couple of years, but the recent reviews of it don't seem very favorable.

I cheaped out when I changed my front springs and bought a 3 ton from harbour freight, I think on sale for $39.95. I was suprised that sucker worked better than I thought. It wouldn't have been my first choice but it worked great.

3ton Lincoln medium frame. You can't beat a Lincoln when it comes to shop jacks, but it's the same deal, it weighs about 100lbs. On the other hand, a heavier jack is better since thicker materials give it more strength. Mine is already around 30years old, put in new o-rings when I got it, and haven't had a problem.

I have a three ton Craftsman jack, had it for about 6 years now and it works great. My dad bought the alum (either 2 1/2 - 3 ton) jack from harbour freight. I was surprised at how it worked so far, but then he only used it to lift his two cars so I dont know how it is for lifting trucks.
