    Could anyone be so kind as to recommend some "Jack Stands"? The ones I have used for years seem to have walked away, (I think I know where they walked, Oh well) I don't need them often but they are nice to have, also any recommendations on just what weight capacity I should get? these are used mostly for the Tacoma,the ones I lost were 5 1/2 ton. I would like some decent jacks, I am not a big fan of "harbor Freight" or the like, & really don't mind spending a few bucks on a good product. Thanks in advance. Doc

    I won't recommend a brand as things have fallen off the last time I bought them...Sears.

    I would not buy anything smaller than 3 ton and really prefer 4 ton.

    I breath easier under 4 ton jack stands.

    I have a set of 3 ton, which are more than enough for the weight of our trucks. I just bought a set of 6 ton, not for the weight capacity but the extra height.

    I have 3 tons that work great front the front. I just use blocks on the back end.
