Hi all,
I'm looking to get a floor jack to support my coming TRX, to help get the wheels off for cleaning and do some of my own maintenance. I would think that a 3 Ton should be fine since you're only lifting one side at a time, but also need a HIGH LIFT due to the suspension on the TRX. Prefer a hand pump vs a bottle jack. Thoughts?

Anyone have any Good recommendations for a home-use Floor Jack in the $200-400 range?

Here is what I’m going with.

I have a 3ton hydraulic rolling floor jack, princess auto special. Iv used it for year on my 3/4 ton trucks in the past. The TRX is lighter by a few so any decent quality 3ton should do. It’s what I’ll be using. Make sure the Axle/jack stands will support the weight safely after your off the ground. I’m sure you know that lol.
 
Yes thanks all. I plan to use in my garage, so "off road" use isn't important. Jack stands for sure, been looking to get aluminum/steel hybrid for weight, with 3 ton capacity with dual pump and high-lift height.
 
I’ve heard Safejack is ok if you like a bottle you need all the extra toys and base plate to make it safe.

I have a 3.5 ton napa/carlyle floor jack and added the pro eagle extension with the optional base plate it locks into which they sell separately.
 
Hopefully I'll get started on my new garage this year and won't need a jack with this
 
LOL! It’s like all you guys can read my mind, Great Q/A. Also interested in a low profile box for behind cab in bed for tools needed and recovery rigging. And all Equipment to be secured, So when the TRX Goes negative G Force!! Ha ha ha!

My Pro Eagle The Beast 2 ton jack arrived yesterday. This thing really is a beast. Very impressed with the quality (not that I was afraid it wouldn’t be great). I also added the 15” extension as well.

Yeah thanks @marksouth , I knew I was forgetting something on my list. Cheers
 
I prefer the long skinny hi lifts for offroad assistance. Little bit more versatile (can use as a winch as well).

Just used one this past weekend to lift up my 2500 when I got stuck (tire went over a small bridge so had to jack it up to build a firewood bridge under it).
