[QUOTE="tplee, post: 1241989, member: 16148"] You really need a MUCH wider base on that bottle jack. That thing will easily roll out from under the axle while jacking... chocked tires or not. And let's be honest...do we always "remember" to chock the tires? Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk[COLOR="Red"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 08:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 AM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR]Old comment, but good for others to read... 2 ton might be okay IF you are always lifting a completely level truck and on level terrain and no other weight in the truck. And then factor in the front/rear weight bias, that the true center of gravity is not on the same plane as the jack (it's higer), and this becomes a far more difficult math problem. Save yourself the trouble and get a 3 ton. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
