I felt this was different enough from my Tacoma thread (https://sigforum.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/320601935/m/7900045524) that I thought I should start a new one. I need a jack to put in my Tacoma and possibly a Nissan Armada. What is a quality jack that would have sufficient height for a 4x4 Tacoma and Nissan Armada? I would prefer a bottle jack but am not opposed to a scissor. The main purpose will be for flat tire changes.
I purchased bottle jacks for garage use on my antique. I can lift right at the leaf spring shackles. Easy to get tire off with minimal maneuvering under the car. I simply went with Chinese junk at ace hardware store.

If you go with a bottle jack be sure it's low enough in it's collapsed state for you to stand it up under your jacking points.

My stock F150 scissor jack bent when I wasn't on completely dry solid ground. I replaced it with a screw type bottle jack from an F250. The F250 jack is rated for trucks with 10k GVWR so I am good at 7k lbs. Plus, with the screw type jack, I don't have to worry about hydraulic fluid leaking under my back seat.
