Honestly my HF jack is built like a tank. It's probably 80lbs and has never given me any doubt that it will lift everything I've thrown at it, like our explorer lifted by the front crossmember which has to be 3k lbs. It also has about a total 1" clearance. I get wanting old school American quality, but I'm super impressed with the HF jack I bought in a bind. Happened to have it sitting in my living room much to the chagrin of my wife...
