Well it's time to buy a set of axle stands and a trolley jack and I know 1967 Mustangs weigh roughly 3000lbs but what does this equate to in tons?
Sorry for the beginner type question!

Cheers,Charlie

One ton is 2000 pounds. Sears has what they are calling a high-lift 3 ton jack on sale right now for about $30. I went by to get one last weekend and they were sold out. I'm going to try them again tonight.

I have a 2 ton jack now, and it has always done the job, but I'm looking for something that will lift a little higher.

Thanks guys! The 2 ton stuff is easier to get hold of over here too. So I reckon that will suffice for just now.

Cheers, Charlie

Charlie, you can never have too much power (where have I heard that before). My 2 1/4 ton has served me well for over 20 years now, but there have been times I needed that extra umph!... Like leveling that out building on my Mom's land, or raising that crack-causing roof truss rihgt before I sold that house... :: either will serve you well, so perhaps height raised or weight could further decide which one best serves your needs. Picking one up has become more tedious as I pass the 45-summers mark.

I've found for the front end of my Mustang a 2 ton jack is just too small for it, even using 2X4 as spacers, it just has enough to lift it, I would recommend the 3 ton that's what I plan to buy next, plus it should help with my Cherokee and the Suburban.

I went back to Sears tonight and got one of the "SUV" 3-ton high-lift trolley jacks. It seems like a pretty good deal for $29.95. It will lift up to 21".

Damm, that is a good price.....$29.99 for a 3 ton jack! That's only £20 ! I wish we had a Sears over in in the UK. It's not something I could easily slip in my travel luggage when I'm over the "pond" either hee hee hee!

Cheers,Charlie

Sorry, I just thought that Sears was everywhere, like McDonalds. The shipping would probably cost as much as the jack, because it is heavy.
