Yes, ForgeLift's 2-ton rating comfortably covers most sedans, SUVs, and light trucks. Before your first lift, check your vehicle's curb weight against the 2-ton rating so you're lifting well within the safe range.

ForgeLift needs about 135mm of ground clearance to slide into place, which covers most sedans, trucks, and SUVs. If your car is heavily lowered, measure your clearance first, since very low vehicles may need a slimmer jack.

The most common cause is trapped air in the line, not a defect. Fully open the release valve, pump several times to purge air, then close it and retest. Continued sinking under load means stop use and inspect the seal.

Budget Amazon jacks often use thin single seals that leak or lose pressure within the first year. ForgeLift's double-bracket base and overload valve are built for regular garage use, not just a good listing photo.

ForgeLift's overload valve automatically releases pressure before you hit the weight limit, so it can't be pushed past safe range. Paired with the double-bracket base, that gives you two independent layers of protection on every lift.

Check the fluid level roughly once a year, or sooner if you use ForgeLift often. Keep the arm fully lowered between uses, top off with standard hydraulic jack oil if the lift feels weaker than usual, and avoid overfilling the reservoir.

No, never leave a vehicle supported only by a floor jack, even briefly. Once you've lifted to your working height, always transfer the load onto rated jack stands before you go underneath or walk away, then use ForgeLift only to raise and lower.

A light film of oil near the seal after the first few pumps is normal, just excess factory fill working free that wipes off. A steady drip or puddle under the jack is not normal; stop use and inspect the seal.
