Which floor jack for Porsche/SUV?
I want to get a made in the USA floor jack that would be good for both a Porsche using Jackpoint jack stands and for a SUV (Defender and Suburban) to use with conventional jack stands so height would be important. Eventually, I plan on getting the next generation 300 series Landcruiser as well.
Does the Milwaukee or other high quality serviceable floor jack fit the bill? Weight doesn't matter as it would be garage only, not needed for transport to track.

Omega makes a commercial jack that goes from 2.5" to 22" that works with the stands but it is imported. Brunnhoelzl makes their garage jack that goes from 2.2" to 21". US made and very nice but expensive. It can be ordered to work with the jack stands.

Get the best....AC jacks
Low profile to get under lowered cars and strong enough for a suv
I have had the DK13HLQ for 10 years now .... Love it!

+1 for the AC jacks if for the home garage. It's pretty heavy to haul back and forth to the track. I did that for years. Thought of getting an aluminum unit, but never got around to it.

I use the Arcan Aluminum 3T Jack. I've had it a few years and used it a LOT on the Cayenne, and also on the 911 and Panamera.

The AC is a great jack but it's too wide by a hair for the Jackpoint Jackstands. The Arcan is also a nice jack. Arcan and Sunex are the same products and the Sunex brand is usually less expensive. Most of their jacks are ANSI rated - fairly unusual for imported jacks.

I have an Arcan aluminum 3 ton jack that i use with my JP. I had to relocate the two handles on the jack in order for the jack to fit between the JP legs. Note the location of the jack handles in the pix.
