    First - there's lots of ways, like spacers, 5100s set low, coilovers with little preload.
    Second - looks like it, why does it matter. I wish I had asked before I bought a set so I could have gone straight to 6 tons.

    The harbor freight ones will do the trick. Or duralast from AutoZone. I'd stick to the bigger brands from a place with a simple warranty exchange policy. Basically whichever autoparts store is convenient.

    I have a both the 3 and 6 ton versions from duralast with zero issues in 7 years of use. Both with get my truck off the ground but the 6 ton set gives me more space to play underneath.

    I use 6 tons for the bottom of my frame, and 3 tons for the rear axle.

    I have the 6 ton and 12 ton both from harbor freight no complaints at all. Also no matter what brand you go with I’d suggest getting the rubber jack stand pads.
