What jacks are you guys using? I need something low enough to get under the Monte, and strong enough to lift a full size truck and Tahoe.

Dare I say that I'm looking at Harbor Freight. I have one of their 1.5 ton aluminum jacks and it's very nice! Just not stout enough for either vehicle really, so I need to upgrade.

I use the low profile one from tirerack.com.

Make sure whatever jack you get conforms to ASME PALD 2009 (Safety testing specs).
Its not likely anything sold at Harbor Freight conforms or is tested in any way.

I have and like this Summit low profile jack.

It appears to be an American Forge & Foundry jack, model 200T. Although I'm pretty sure it's imported, I use it all the time and it seems like a very good quality jack.

I'm just not confident that a 2 ton can handle a full size 4x4...
