This is just one of many WRX Jacking videos where they're lifting it with a "regular" 3 Ton Low profile jack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D...Ukw

You need jack stands, these are good for heavy SUV, and go on sale all the time.
Not sure what SUV you have but you in general:
You need some kind of lighting.
You need a stiff wire brush
Often a rubber mallet
A 1/2" breaker bar

A Torque Wrench

Brake bleed kit (maybe)
Watch a YouTube video about your brake job, there may be a specific 7 or 8 mm hex bit needed
The "super duty" does have a longer warranty & prettier metallic paint than the "long reach", however the long reach goes lower & higher. Plus the ability to have a foot pump is key when space is limited.

Hopefully it's on sale too
Any suggestions? Worth making her come to pick up 2?
SUV is only bc expecting kiddos in the next few years
Jacks exist to put on jack stands. They cost nothing at harbor freight($15). Just buy 2.
The reason for this is jacks can slip. And you don't want your floor jack going through your engine, fluid pans, or having the rotors cut your leg off.
If you are doing brakes you can do one wheel at a time. Your tire needs to be on the ground to get the lug nuts loose, so floor jack dead center, place stands on mount points near wheel, and be patient and thorough with cleaning dust and greasing caliper pins and installing new clips(oriented properly). Be careful to get the placement on mount points.
Some cars, for example- Toyota, have a crap mount point at the seam weld of the body. A stupid place, but that's how they made it. Which changes the orientation of the jack stand. You place the U hook along the seam, not overlapping the seam. Other cars, like german ones, don't have that. They have actual metal plates for stands attached to the subframe.
It's not hard to do any of this, just be safe. It's grimy as sht under there, and floor jacks do slip, and sometimes fail.

but it's been a lifesaver for my '86 4runner rock crawler, which has 37" tires and a bunch of lift... if you don't have a truck or similar, i'd be looking at which has the lowest profile, plus one of 'em is significantly cheaper?
they also sell grease zerks, if you do break off the one on these jacks, yes both of those jacks appear to have the grease zerk in the same place, i don't know if the jacks use metric or sae?: https://www.harborfreig
smart people aren't going to break the grease fitting off like i did, i think that it's because i put those narrow trash cans on top of the jack to save storage space, and every week they get picked up and taken outside for the trash trucks to pick up.

In my store (Berlin, CT) these "small" ones were in the back area, so I had to look for them. The heavier/bigger ones were up front for the sale. I was in line with the one register where there were probably 8 of us total. Probably 3/4 had jacks for this sale.
Also, thanks for the reminder on the free bucket... many of the people in line seemed to have missed that stack-on! If it's free, it's for me!
$133 out the door... not bad at all!
