I bought one of the beefier HF floor jacks.  It was on sale. Bright yellow
body, black wheels, white handle.  Weight-rated for I dunno - 3 tons or so.
I bought that one specifically because the jack lifted high enough to lift
the vanagon directly.  (Previously I'd been kludging my small jack up on
blocks to lift the van).

It is sticky to release, which means it often comes back down MUCH faster
than one was expecting.  But it has worked great, including being outdoors
for about a year.
