Rob, think there's a floor jack out there that will lift 10k pounds?

I think he could go $14.00 for this one.....

and a floor jack isn't really needed.

I actually opted for this one for my trailer and flat bed.....

You know - that's a good point. Floor jacks (I hate that term) have a
tendency to blow seals (not those kind of seals - get your heads out
of the gutter), but I have some bottle jacks that I've had for years
and other than a little hydraulic oil from time to time, they always
worked perfectly.

The only drawback to bottle jacks is that they are stationary. Floor
jacks have wheels to compensate for the movement of the load.
