Have bought stuff from harbor before is not bad quality, but it will be on the low end. Are you going to use a 2&1/4 on a f250 Diesel ? If so expect disapointment I went with an aluminum 2&1/4 and it is margenal at best used to have a 3 ton sears and it was so much better but too heavy.It works if you take up one side at a time but when you try to lift entire front end you can tell it is being pushed

Question 21/4 ton jack

i picked the jack up this morning ,it is a little on the light side but it does lift my dakota and caravan , it has the foot pump and lifts a full 30" which is what i wanted. it also was only $ 150. i also have a old 3ton sears l bought in 78 or 79 that i payed around $250 a lot of cash when your a 2nd year apprentice{close to 1 months wages ) it still works good i have to top up the oil maybe 2xs a year but it like most jacks it only lifts about 20" anyway for the price it looks good to me and will probally be around as long as i am thanks for the reply mike
