Best Floor Jack Type / Height for Talon 1000X-4

[Steve-O-Utah]

I have a 2020 Talon 1000X-4 FL with 30 inch Tusk Terrabite tires.

What is the best Brand, Type, and Height of floor jack to use for things like tire rotation? The plan is to put the front on Jack Stands (after lifting with a new jack), and then lifting the rear with the the floor jack and keeping it there for rotating the 4 tires.

This site has not failed me yet when it comes to help and wisdom from others, so curious about your thoughts.

Look for a low rise automotive jack used locally.

I found mine for $500 lifts my talon x4 on portals great.

That does look pretty cool, but I am more looking for a portable that I can use for tire rotation. I am a little jealous though.

I have the $200 Harbor Fright Daytona 3 ton, it's highly rated and lifts the rear of my R clear off the ground.

I use an older 1.5 ton Harbor Freight aluminum floor jack with some 4x4 pieces of wood. Works very well and the jack is only about 32 lbs.

The current version is only $55.

This is what I used on my Talon. Had a friend make the brackets. Worked great. Easy to take apart and use the jack on my mower.

Good point - I hurt myself getting the 3 ton Daytona out of my PU, 😭 so it's a strictly stay at home jack.

I like that, good idea! I also have that jack (the older previous style) and it shouldn't be too much trouble to have my buddy help me make similar brackets. What size pipe did you use for the extensions?

Thank you all. Love this forum!

Heavy Duty, nice! Thanks.

Glad I could help I also used 1" flat stock to weld to make 2 different brackets. Just pay attention on which 2 you weld together.
