Re: Harbor Freight Tools: got the 3 ton floor jack
I have several 12" x 12" platforms made out of 4" x 4"s (two layers 90

with the wood block when I can.

Re: Harbor Freight Tools: got the 3 ton floor jack
I find even a chunk of 2x10 works to stop the wheels from digging in or
I use 2 pieces of 2x4 sideways at the front and rear.
I too have had concrete slabs and blocks crack.

Re: Harbor Freight Tools: got the 3 ton floor jack
I find even a chunk of 2x10 works to stop the wheels from digging in or
I use 2 pieces of 2x4 sideways at the front and rear.
I too have had concrete slabs and blocks crack.

Re: Harbor Freight Tools: got the 3 ton floor jack
You wouldn't beleive the crap I have to go thru to jack up my Cherokee. First I
have to grab up all my brother's spare weight set plates, then some boards to
bring up my crap floor jack and jack stands to a high enough level to actually
do some good.
