Re: Jack Capacity

The bigger the better, I dont have a garage and me and my dad have been doing a lot of work lately and we have a tiny jack and stands. We borrowed a big 3 ton from the neighbor... so much easier.

Re: Jack Capacity

I have a low pro crafstman 3 ton jack that i've had and used for several years. For jackstands i have 2 ton random small ones from vatozone. My truck is bagged and using 3ton giant jackstands really isn't neccessary for me.
