Hi all, looking to get a jack I can hook up to my air pressure tank so I can easily do tire rotations myself (and because my old jack isn't beefy enough for this behemoth, lol). What is everyone recommending or using?

I was looking at this one from Home Depot as an option, given it can do 20 inches of lift in case I needed to look over anything else underneath the vehicle. I know the weight capacity is WAYYY more than we need, but I just like this particular one because of the max height (as compared to 15 inches on some of the smaller ones)

On Amazon there are thousands of positive reviews on this jack. Torin is a quality manufacturer. I think I am going to try one myself. Price is good

What is the lift range? The specs can be deceiving because they usually spec minimum and maximum with mechanical adjustments also at min and max, which you can't change once you start lifting. I think my setup, that appears to be 10 inch between min and max for the specs really only has a lift range of around 6 inches, which is marginal for doing tire rotations.

Agree. Figure I will need to use some wood cribbing under the jack to make the needed lift
