Default decent sensibly priced high lift trolley jack

i already have an alloy race jack which i think is quite porr to be honest but i need a decent high lift jack, up to 800mm lift as my sill stands on the fiesta are 22" high and i dont want to mess around with bits of wood etc just want one decent trolley jack to lift it,

sits quite high as you can see



any better priced ones out there than this, it also weighs a bloody ton!

Do you know the industrial unit 1/2mile after the dick turpin a long country road also you can get to it from the road after dick turpin its a farm they have big electric gates to get in.

here ya go, not quite as high as you want but £85 touch only thing i would say is get some tocktight and remove all the bolts one at a time and tocktight in as only complaint is they come loose but done mine and not a problem since,

o yea also some roll cage padding on the handle £8 burton's
