3 Ton floor jack/3 ton stands

RyanD · Apr 27, 2015

Picked up a set of stock 20s, and wanna swap them. Went out yesterday to Northern tool and picked up a 3 ton jack and 3 ton stands. I'm probably overthinking this, but is a 3 ton set up safe enough to jack up one side, set a stand and swap a wheel (one at a time of course). I'm mostly concerned about the weight of the front of my '13 6.7. Thanks!!

Well if it's a 3-ton stand set, that means 1.5 tons each....and HF is know for poor quality Chinese everything.

I'd be very careful, and use the stand and a jack in sync.
