Floor Jack

What's everyone using for a floor jack in their 3/4 ton trucks? my original is missing in my 84 C2500 and am thinking of just getting a floor jack from Walmart. It's the Big Red 2.5 Ton low profile. I will keep it in the box in the back. The Black Jack gave me 3 uses then the cylinder went out on it and the company wanted $35 for a new cylinder. I was also thinking of a Hi Lift jack.
Thoughts and ideas?
Thanks

Re: Floor Jack
