How big of a jack and jack stands is the right size for the truck? 2 ton, 3 ton? Is it ok to put the jack under the rear diff. to jack it up? Where do you jack from in the front? Thanks
2 or 3 ton will work. Yes you can jack up under the rear diff. Find a strong cross member in the front, or jack up one side at a time by the frame. Easiest for me in the front is to drive it up on ramps.
i bought a floor jack that goes up 23 inches and wont lift my truck to change a tire. I'm looking at buying a farm jack, itll be good cause it can work at the beach as well.
I have an elderly three-ton floor jack and three-ton jack stands. I use the stands to hold his rump up while I rotate the tires. Used to support my '66 LeMans drop-top with the stands to preserve the tires.
