Default Floor Jack capacity and Jacking Points for 2007.5 3500 Dually

Would the ARCAN Hybrid (steel and aluminum) 3-ton floor jack sold by Costco be a good choice for my 2007.5 3500 Dually?

https://www.costco.com/3-ton-profess...100222458.html

I'm wondering if the 3-ton capacity is enough, as the truck weighs closer to 4 tons, but I suppose if I'm only jacking up one corner, then that's only 25%.

Also, where are the jack points for the rear?

Thanks,

Jack looks good. It won't let you lift more than it can handle.

As for jack points, at the rear, generally under the axle somewhere. One side or the other if you are just playin' with one side, or under the pig if you are playin' with both. (jackstands are a REALLY good idea too.) The problem with the trucks is, the frame is up there pretty high, and trying to lift on the frame, the jack just doesn't have enough lift height to be real useful there. Works OK in front, on a 2wd.....

These HF jacks were getting good reviews a while back.
