Jack and Safety stands

[dubb57]

What's a good jack and safety stands to get to start working on my 2000 Discovery?

Weight requirements and all that jazz. Saw a two ton trolley on sale but i'm thinking that aint gonna do it.

Or is the stock jack good enough?

and a 3 ton floor jack.

At least the jack stands to start.

What about these puppies?

From Harbor Freight. They look generic. Think they're safe? I could order from your spot but with shipping, they're double.

I like the other ones better. They have a pin lock on there was well for added security.

I own em and they work just fine. I bought the cutoff wheel I'm going to use cut up my bumper there for 6 bucks.

If money isn't an issue I would get the northern tool stands because of the extra safety features which is worth it.

Make sure you get high lift jack and stands. I had the little 2 ton set from my last car and I can get the tire maybe three inches off the ground on the Rover. The jack stands are just as bad. had to buy taller ones when I replaced the springs. Now, on the other hand, neither jack fits under the g35...

I have the harbor freight stands. They work fine.

Sams frequently has a set of really nice, really tall 6 ton stands for sale. They have big pads on the feet, which is nice, as I have sent a set without them right through a driveway before. I don't like shopping there, but I haven't seen better stands at any other store for use under such a tall vehicle.

Cheers,
