Re: Good floor jack for '91' XJ?
If your J**P is stock height (stock shocks and wheels/tires) then you will
need a jack to lift at least 21 inches high ( I believe its 18.5 inches
front and 19.5 inches rear). I bought a 3 1/2 ton 23 inch lift floor jack
last year, it is one of the greatest buys I've made to date way better then
my bottle jack and is much more stable then the bottle jack.

Re: Good floor jack for '91' XJ?
What am I missing?
I have 3 floor jacks. All cheapies. all of them will lift either my
Cherokee or my CJ7 with 33" tires. I use the axle tube ends as a
jacking point. My jack only needs to move 2 or 3" to get a tire off the
ground.

Re: Good floor jack for '91' XJ?
Ditto. Plus your more likely to work on your Jeep with a floor jack,
just drag it out to the Jeep and whip it into position, and you've got
tire up and working, where as with the bottle jack I'm crawling around
on my belly, unscrewing the adjusting screw, and finally pumping thing
up from an awkward position.
