Hey all, I'd like to pick up a new hydraulic floor jack, but it's been so long since I've purchased one that I am unfamiliar with all of the brands I'm finding. I have been out of 4 wheeling for a very long time, and gave away my old one years ago because I rarely used it anymore, and because I couldn't get it to stop leaking fluid in my garage. I bought it in my teens, and I'm sure it was the cheapest one I could find at the time. I'm looking for a better quality, more reputable brand this time around.
Also would like any opinions on Steel versus Aluminum. I see that the aluminum ones are about half the weight of steel which would be great for maneuverability, but I have no clue how they compare, as far as durability or reliability goes.
One last thing, my 21' Rubi currently has it's stock 33's, but I am going up to 35's soon. So I'm guessing I should choose something with a max height of at least 20 inches, but any suggestions there are welcome as well.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
