Go big or go home as they say.Not to split hairs but with a lift height of 24"+, you could change a tire that was 49 1/2" tall. So, perhaps a bit more than needed.

I use the green Daytona. It's low profile but also goes up to 24-1/4" perfect for my rig.

Had it about a year and it's VERY solid. Just keep it greased.That's what I've been planning on getting. Have you had it long enough to say it will last?
My guess is that you use your floor jacks for more than changing tires, Blaine.Not to split hairs but with a lift height of 24"+, you could change a tire that was 49 1/2" tall. So, perhaps a bit more than needed.
Link to this kit?Really like this kit from 911 racing out of Bend, OR
Pimps out my 2 ton Pittsburgh aluminum jack. They also make skid plates and vehicle mounts. Basically a Pro Eagle on the cheap.

It's a lot more manageable if you already have one of the jacksdamn. I wouldn't have guessed "like a pro eagle on the cheap" would still be effectively $400 ($180 for a 2 ton aluminum Pittsburgh and $200 for the 911M offroad conversion kit), but I didn't realize Pro Eagles were that much. Wild.
@mrblaineI haven't knowingly purchased anything except some basic crap from HF. Several years ago, someone dropped off a new one of those for me to use on their rig to help me get done a little faster since it is easier to dial in suspension with two floor jacks. I already had a high dollar OTC SUV Low profile 5200.

In short order, we found ourselves using the HF over the OTC because it was faster and easier to use. I figured that would be short lived since it wouldn't be long before we wore it out and issues would start showing up.
4 years later of daily use and it is still going strong. My helper did not fully grasp the fundamentals of jack use and was lifting a heavy load (within capacity) with the OTC. When the jack didn't roll with the load, the force on the edge folded the two lifting bars that hold the saddle square to the load. I repaired it better than new, but in the same time, the HF has been flawless and used more.
We wore one Daytona out and replaced it with two more.@mrblaine
Are you still using the HF Jack? Would you, or have you bought another?
If not can you recommend something you would buy?
My 40 year old Craftsman is leaking and I’m looking for a replacement.
The Craftsman served me well thru many years of side work.
It’s replacement will only be used on my personal vehicles.
Thank you
Blaine already replied but if it helps to have another person’s additional input, then great. I’ve had the super duty for nearly 2 years. I’m sure I don’t use it as much as Blaine but it works great. I use it on my truck and Jeep.@mrblaine
