I have this that adapts to a normal floor jack you are welcome to.

The issue with it, is the vehicle needs to be pretty high off the ground to get the tranny all the way out. With my 3.5" lift and 35's, it's not enough.

I've got a transmission jack, but I'm pretty far from you. You're welcome to borrow it.

I assume you are talking to me? It mounts into the hole after you take your existing pad off. That hole is generally a standard size, but I can measure this adapter to make sure. You also have to attach it to the jack with j-hooks. I've had to wire it on my jack in the past without issue.

Anyway a 2.5 ton jack is fine! That's 5000lbs!

Just going off what u said about the bronco needs to high off the ground. Mine is stock so how much of a problem do u think that will cause? Would it even be worth it

Well, I have four HD jack stands you could borrow too. Put your axles on those on the highest setting you can, then start pulling out your tranny. You could do some measuring and find just the right height that will allow your tranny to come out so you don't have to go so high on the jack stands. The bottom of my frame is 22.5" off the ground. If you got your frame 26-28" off the ground, that should be enough to pull the tranny out. But honestly, I don't recall how much I lacked. And my tranny is a ZF. Measure from the bottom of the tranny to the highest part of the tunnel and the height of your jack pad from the floor when lowered. Then I can measure my adapter and add all those up to get a minimum height you need to get the frame off the ground.

My only caveat is that I will need to start packing things up for a move early May-ish and will need these items back by then.
