How much floor jack?

Just bought a 2015 TRD sport dclb. How many ton floor jack do I need? Also how high do I need the floor jack to go to get wheels off?

 

I use a three ton Hybrid steel / aluminum floor jack with a lift height of 18.5 inches.

 

2 ton lifts my dclb easily.

I avoid placing a jack under the diff, YMMV. I place them directly under the rear shock.

**Edit... i think it's a 3 ton

 

My OCD fear is the weight of the truck is being point loaded where the axles go into the pumpkin. Peeps do it, but I always cringe to myself when I see a shop do it.

The unthinkable

 

I've been doing it for about 46 years then ...

What ever trips your trigger. It won't hurt it however...

 

Yeah, I know, but the load of the truck when on the ground is at each axle 8 ish inches in from the wheels.

I still feel it's not the end of the world to jack there. I never heard of anyone snapping their axles off of the diff from jacking, but I'm OCD with shit like that j/k

 

Geezus Jimmy!? You're not blind from jacking your pumpkin for the last 46 years?

 

Get this one: It has a large lift range, 2.63" to 23.75", so it'll work on cars and high enough to reach your truck's frame (or rock sliders when you get them).

 

damn. this is awesome. Thanks for the link.

 

I am not in a rush.

Thanks Ding.

 

is this harbor freight stuff any good?

 

Gracias Ding.

 

I have this jack, works just fine.

 

I have a 3 ton unit.

 

I have a 5 ton model. Once you use one of these jacks, you will never go back to floor jacks.

I have to say. People think nothing spending $2k on tires and wheels and they are outdated in 5 years. Spend $2k on a lift that will usable for your life time. If you are on this site, there is a good chance you like to wrench. Your back and knees will thank you. Get a lift.

 

I've been using an Arcan 3.5 ton jack from Costco. The all steel construction weighs a ton, but it's semi-low profile and lifts higher than most other jacks I've seen.

 

I have a 9'-4" ceiling. Would that model fit with my ceiling height?

 

Nice!

 

Isnt that where it says in the Owners Manual to place the Jack?

 

After having one and now can't have one at current house I'm going crazy! When we build again soon, it will happen!
