So my other vehicle is a Mustang, and its lowered an inch. So I've always used this low profile jack.

That guy always did the trick with my Mustang. But it can barely get the tires off the ground on the Bronco. I'm loathe to use the spare tire jack as I don't want to get it in and out everytime I want to lift the car. And besides, I also want a hydraulic jack that easily pumps. I'm happy to purchase a jack just for the Bronco.

Would love to see what you guys are using out there that can truly get under and LIFT THIS BRONCO UP!

I use this. Works great.

Thank you. I was looking at that one. It's 3 ton, which is awesome, and has the rapid pump feature. Is it really able to get underneath and lift he Bronco up??

I was starting to think maybe ramps were the way to go here. They are impossible on the clearance on the Mustang, but might be just right here.

I'm going to see if Harbor Freight offers this on sale this weekend. Thanks again!!

Got this from Walmart on clearance for 99 bux!! Low profile, made by Torin, 3 ton. It's the bomb. I bought the cross beam from harbor freight and can lift up whole side at one time with one jack.

Here's what I use. The ram reaches full extension in 6-8 pumps.

Thank you for the precise pic with the clearance. How much wheel clearance to floor does 18 inches get you with the springs in full weightless extension?

Looks like an open box item. Love finding discounted gems like that!

So Harbor FReight is having a 25% Memorial Day sale, so I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with one of those.


A little off topic, but has anyone here mounted jacking rails on their Bronco? Honestly not sure how much I'm going to have to get under this car, but I hate beating on my pinch welds.

Are there better lift points? 🤔
