Message: [QUOTE="ToMang07, post: 291824, member: 4800"] [B][FONT="Times New Roman"][SIZE="3"]IMO: I would not go less than 5 ton if you are investing in a jack that will last. Currently, I don't have a floor jack over 2.5 ton, so I use a 12-Ton Bottle jack... (Black Jack from Wally World) and it does great so far. I also will say that I use the 3-ton jacks on the rear end.... but I don't on the front end. Considering the truck weighs close to 4 tons.... and 3 ton jack stands means 1.5 tons each... The front end of these trucks are damn heavy. I went overkill and got 12-ton jack stands... they were $90 and tall enough that I can lift the truck at the frame. (Had to to install leaf springs.) IMO... it's not worth injury or damage to save a few bucks on under rated equipment that *might* work. I had a good friend/co-worker who died last spring when his jeep rolled over on him and crushed him. Just aint worth it.[/SIZE][/FONT][/B] [/QUOTE]
