The HF 3 ton low profile jack is inexpensive, it has rapid pump, 2 7/8" min, and 19 3/4" max lift. GL

Ended up going with the Harbor Freight 2.5T Aluminum Racing Jack! Woot! Get to try it out this weekend.... hopefully she works well! Main reason for going with the aluminum version was because I live 2 blocks off the beach so things tend to rust.... plus this thing is hella light!

+ recommend the c4fabworkd skid if your in sand or rocks

Also recommend the Pro-eagle off-road jack extension for $50
It adds between 4-9 inches (extends/collapses) to the jack pad height and locks into the jack pad which had to be replaced for $20 from pro eagle (which they gave me for free after making an internal delay costing me 2 days in shipping) great service.

I use the HF 3 ton and also scored one for $89

Never needed it in the field <knocks oak>

I also have a 3ton floor jack from Harbor Freight, and it always worked flawlessly.

Harbor freight 2 ton race jack with one of the many skid options available for it!

I use two 3-ton floor jacks and two heavy duty jack stands when I rotate tires on my Raptor. Got 'em all at Auto Zone.

My experience is that 2-ton jacks creak when they reach the top of their range of motion when used on a heavy vehicle like the raptor. It does not inspire confidence to hear your safety device moan under the strain. I opted for an abundance of safety - both for me and for my truck.

I'm with @Ruger definitely go with the three ton. I had a two ton and when I first got the Raptor I didn't like the sounds it made at full lift. Something about laying under a truck and using a jack that sounds like an old man getting out of bed that kind of worried me. I also went with the Harbor Freight Race jack since its light. Now I just need to buy and extension for the lift pad.
