    Struggled with getting the 2 ton big wheel vs the 3 ton because the difference in price was only $60 or so but what I have will def do the job and its easier to transport and store

    I've seen some Eaz-Lift RV jacks out at KoH. I've seen some racers use them. Haven't tried one myself though. They come in 30", so they should be able to get some big tires with big travel off the ground.

    Pro Eagle is probably the primo jack solution right now.

    ES Motorsports also has a steroid scissor jack if you're the overkill type.

    I'm currently debating between the Safe Jack or Pro Eagle. Quite a bit of a price difference, and it looks like either will work great. Decisions, decisions.

    I debated between the Safe Jack and Pro Eagle for a bit. The Safe Jack was cheaper and lighter while the Pro Eagle was substantially more expensive and heavier. I ultimately went with the Pro Eagle 2 Ton Beast mainly because of its durability and ease of use with fewer parts to put together when all you want is to raise your truck wheel quickly and efficiently. The Pro Eagle does fit into the Decked drawer system, but you have to use the plastic stopper it ships with to keep the jack attachment down/level and then load it in the Decked drawer upside down because the wheels wheel ride on the raised part of the bottom of the drawer if you don't making it a few centimeters too high to close the drawer.

    Anyone know which extension will work on regular jacks? Like the extension that comes on the pro eagle? I've seen pics of a few months ago but haven't heard anyone talk about it.

    Thanks for the info. I am very interested in the Pro Eagle and the Decked system. After reading your post, seems like a good combo!

    Sorry to revive an old thread, but is that the pro eagle extension? If so what did you use to bolt it on (looks like a different head)?

    I use something crazy. The original jack that already sits in your truck and an $8 2x6 piece of lumber from Home Depot that can be cut into as many pieces you need.

    Safejack has an off-road kit I was looking at. Has some risers/spacers included
