Jack stand and candle

[martin_metal_88]

Quick question, a friend have a 2T Jack stand and candle with a 19.5'' height that he can't keep, selling house after breakup. I know the height would be enough for my KJ but is 2T enough? my bet is yes since you support only part of the jeep weight but just wanted to make sure before getting myself something I already have no place for...

My jackstands are all 2-ton. Haven't had any issues even with the Jeep all the way up in the air on 4 of them.

2 tons = 4,000 lbs. A liberty weighs in the average range of 3,800 lbs (legal disclaimer for the nit-pickers who have nothing better to do than pick-nits: your actual vehicle weight is +/- from stated above, depending on how it's equipped).
You could in essence balance the thing on one jack stand, but I wouldn't advise it!

I use a set of 4 tons for the front. The rear I have no problem with 2 tons except the fact they don't extend far enough.

Then I gonna have to find some more place in my locker...starting to get harder -_-

Jack stands are rated per pair. And 19.5" should be ok, I use one that's like 20.5".
