What kind of car jack is best for lifting heavy vehicles?

A <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Automotive-Shop-Equipment-Car-Jacks/Hydraulic/N-5yc1vZc8mpZ1z0tgyp?emt=plpfaq_2411_carjacks" style="text-decoration: underline;">hydraulic car jack</a> is a good choice for lifting heavier vehicles because it uses fluid pressure to generate lifting force. It can lift heavier vehicles than a mechanical jack and is great for general automotive use, especially SUVs, trucks, RVs, and even some heavy-duty vehicles.

Why should I use a jack stand?

While a jack is designed to lift a car, it is not meant to hold it for long periods. Always use a jack stand to secure the vehicle in place before working underneath it. This will prevent the vehicle from falling and causing serious injury.
