Floor Jack - recommendations
What suspension lift you got? I'm assuming you just put that jack pad right on the front or rear crossmember and lift the whole bad boy right up?
Let me see if I can find some pic’s of various diy’s I’ve done
using my jack. Oh it’s a Rough Country 6” with the M1 struts/springs which I think are sagging, probably gonna switch up to the Rough Country Vertex coil overs which can be adjusted on the truck so in theory if they sag I can adjust them without having to completely remove them.

The 18" lift jack I had before the F150 came would not even get the tires off the ground. I went with the long reach Harbor Freight with a 24" vertical lift. It is heavy. I can lift both front or rear off at once or front and rear left or right side at once.

The 4T Daytona has max lift height of 20-1/4 inches. My rear axle and front crossmembers are 16" from the ground sitting on the tires as-is. That doesn't seem like a lot of extra lift height to go to get the tires off the ground, to do suspension work, drop the rear axle to work on blocks or leafs, etc. Seems like if I go Daytona, I need a block underneath like you have. Did you make something special?

That's what I first thought as I scrolled through them ....."I can't see the dude's jack!"
Glad we both found it funny. No worries. I decided to go with the 4T Daytona and then put a 6" saddle extension on it. (I wasn't sold on Badland's plastic tires). I think this will solve any height problem and now I can finally work on my truck again. The 12T jack stands saved me!
Now I just need to come up with better chock blocks for the 37s than what HF has.
Man I was soooooo close to snagging that one. It looked phenomenal in the store display. The price premium over the Daytona didn't fly for me. At $250 and 4T I would have been in, but not 3T at $320.
