12 ton is plenty to carry in the truck. Plenty for DIY and almost any brand. Just carry a piece of hard lumber 4x4.
If your running a shop using it multiple times a day, or a service truck. Go 20 ton. Holds up longer. Grey, or Lincoln.Pamela1990, D.Tibbitt and God prefers Diesels Thank this. -
Getting old, fat and lazy here.
Was a time I never complained about a manual jack. Them days are gone. Go for air over. You won't regret spending alil more for the air assist.lester Thanks this. -
I keep a 20 ton bottle jack from harbor freight on the Truck. It fits under the steer axle, and in the side box.
TGUNKEL Thanks this. -

These work pretty good and give lots of room under the truck. I would make my next set a little different. Mostly make them longer to make the top level longer and put a 4x4 on the edge for a stop. Getting out 4 times to make sure I'm not going over the end is a little annoying.
Just plain old 2x12 construction lumber. Maybe the should be made out of something harderD.Tibbitt, LoneRanger, dorlia2 and 1 other person Thank this. -
