New jack stands

[grogiefrog]

I bought myself a new pair of 2 ton jack stands today. Chrome even! Their actually nothing special, but I have decided that I want to take on rotating my own tires from now on. I'm going to work in a five tire rotation starting once I hit the 6k mark to use up the spare as well. It may be a while before I decide to spend the $$$ on new tires, so I guess I'll have to make a go with the stock tires. I'm dreaming of Revo's...

Does anyone have more then 2 ton jack stands?

You can get jack stands that are rated higher. So unless you're talking about a big rig, I think Sears will have the right one for you... \/

Isn't 2 ton enough, considering that it only has to hold up one wheel (or 1/4 of my KJ)? I'm using it as just a safety on if the jack gave out.

You asked...

"Does anyone have more then 2 ton jack stands?"

So I supplied a few others. :iconbiggrin: Really the 2 ton stands are alright, and it's all I have (from when I used to do bigtime work on my neon). If I needed 4 of them to toss the Jeep up on stands for a week (or more) I'd pick up a set of 4 of the 3-1/2 ton stands (just to make them all match) and I'd keep my pair of 2 ton stands available in case I needed to do work on another vehicle. Other than that for just tire changing and such I think the 2 ton stands are adequate.

That is what I figured. It's just for saftey while changing single tires. No need to ruin anything. Thanks.
