I would recommend you buy jacks and stands that are way higher rated than you need. This will give that much more of a safety factor. I use a 3 ton floor jack, and 6 1/2 ton rated jack stands. Even with those, I always use a another "floating" jack-stand as a backup under the closest frame rail to when I am working. So if god forbid a jack stand slipped or failed, I have another jack stand to catch the falling load before my body does.


Perhaps over-kill, but I think it better than just plain kill.
