#24521, "Found a good lowered jack"


          

This is just a head's up if anyone's looking for a good jack. I just bought a 1.5 ton aluminum racing jack for $105 at Sams Club. It's got a 3.5" clearance which is just enough to fit under my front bumper. It seems to be pretty good quality too. Sweet.

Is 1.5 ton safe to lift the car? I got 2.5 because I thought it wouldn't hold.


'95 GSX - Big16G ~ Leaks, but atleast it runs.

At 1.5 tons I wouldn't try and lift a truck but I'm pretty sure it's safe for most cars.

I lifted the front end of my 3000 lb car yesterday without any problem. It seems pretty sturdy, but I wouldn't work under my car with just a jack anyway, I got jackstands for that.

our whole car weighs 1.5 tons. just lifting the front should be fine i would think.

Having Problems? Heres my Three step solution to anything 2gnt related.
Step 1: Put down everything in your hands.
Step 2: Grab a lucky strike, Smoke it.
Step 3: Walk to the fridge, double fist some keystone ice, sit down in the shade, drink one beer, finish cigarette, drink other beer, roll a joint, smoke it, walk back to your problem, and in about 5 minutes the solution will come to you.
If not. Go here: here

If still nothing, your trying to hard. Start over at step 1.

It took me about 6 or 7 pumps to get it a foot off the floor. I had to use the entire length of the handle for leverage.

I think it goes up to around 17 inches.
