What size jack to buy?

[nmcgrawj]

Whats up guys? I wanna buy a new jack, i currently have a little jack that i use...it cant even lift up the rear end if i put it on the differential case. I didn't think i needed the huge 3 1/2 ton jack but i wanted to know what you guys thought was the best.

Also i wasn't sure if the 3 1/2 ton would fit under my car. I was thinking about the suv/truck 2 1/2 ton jack that lifts it up to about 21" but i doubt that will fit under. Then theres the 2 1/4 ton....

Let me know what u think.

14.75" high enough of a lift?

i have a nice "low lift" 3-1/2 ton jack. Dual piston. It fits under the front bumper of my cobra, which is very low, and lifts the car with ease. I think its an "arcane" or something like that. Great jack IMO

It fits under the car just fine, and gets it really high up in the air. It even fits under my brothers 2003 GT with steeda springs.

Just get a bottle jack.

I was looking at those but didn't know how they performed. Do you have a imparticular one?

Arent they a little hard to get under the car though?

Not really I can get my bottle jack under my 96 no problem!
My 96 is not lowered so,it's easier in one way.They are light
weight and fit in the trunk easy!I highly recommend them
they are worth it!
