I use those TA in the winter. I got my new SS now. I had a sidewall flat recently in my old ones

What kind of jack do you use on that tray? I have 1 rolling jack and a jack/tool tray....

I used jacking tray (with bottle jacks and/or small floor jack) in rear for about 4 years. I finally gave in and bought a second rolling jack for the rear and I am not regretting that decision at all! Lifting the rear end is much easier (and safer) with a rolling jack versus the jacking tray.

Now that I look back on it, I wonder why I ever used the jacking tray setup. It's not worth taking the chance of a major mishap just to save a few hundred bucks.

I will probably order another rolling jack soon

Looks good, they're worth their weight in gold to me...When I bought my 7000 lb lift about 12 years ago they were relatively cheap...I'm 6/2" and I can stand under mine when fully raised...Bought mine from Best Buy Auto in Temecula for $1599 and I still get e-mails from them about sales...Takes 2 guys about 2 hours to install.

For the rear, get a lighter duty one. I have RJ-45 (4500lb capacity) in the front and RJ-35 (3500 lb cap) in the rear. Shop around and you can save a fair bit of money. I ended up buying the RJ-35 at local NAPA, who woulda ever figured????

What brand did you end up getting from NAPA? I’ve toyed with the idea of getting another jack for the rear. Looks like there are a few manufacturers for the RJ-35.

It was brand: QUALITY LIFTS, part # QRJ03H. I bought last year. List price was $1316. I actually paid $670. Best $670 I ever spent, LOL. Not sure if this was a sale price or not, but it was actually the best deal I found anywhere, and the NAPA store is only a mile away. Plus I got free delivery (to the store) and I picked up with my truck and slid it into the lift with no problem.

My lift is CHALLENGER brand, which I believe is subsidiary of QUALITY.

Yeah, mine has the ridge as depicted in the drawing, shown in my photo below. I am assuming that photo is your lift?? And is that the end of your rolling jack in the photo? It must have some rollers on it (I don't see them), but it's clearly a different setup than mine, so it certainly appears that my part # ain't gonna work for you.
