I have a craftsman jack thats a 3 ton, nothing special but it works. A jack stand is a jack stand, harbor freight sells some really tall 20 ton ones.

How much you wanna spend? That is always the big question!

since we work on tractors and semi's on our farm i get to use REAL jacks :worship:

we just got a jack that you hook up to your air compressor to raise it, its way nice, i think its 15 ton.

If you're going to get another jack, get a long body one. They make life so much easier. Those ones where you twist the handle to lower or stop are realllllll nice too. :drool:
