We have a pair that are custom made and are most likely rated for about 12 tons and got them at a local swap meet.
I can see you guys are going to want pictures.

and here they are.

 

I picked up a pair of 6-ton jackstands at Harbor Frieght for 30 bucks. Didn't need them for the wieght, but the extra hieght made it real easy installing my RC 2.5" budget boost.

 

Just wanted to add that if you get 5 of them you can use one on the axle to manipulate it to let go of the springs while the other four support the frame.

 

i found a great deal on a craftsman 12 ton jack only $35 as for jack stands i found those too but the 12 ton ones were $119 dont really want 3 ton thats like walking the edge but i couldnt find any 6 ton

 

Love this screen name! hahaha

 

I want to put it on the windshield or tire cover but my wife keeps talking me out of it. Rangleme says go for it. I guess I have the wrong wife.

 

If the name not being on it is the only thing she stops. Then I am doing good.

 

hmmm, couple questions about jack stands and jacks in general

I have a stock 08 Rubicon. I believe it weighs a shade under 4500lbs.

I do my own basic maintenance (fluids, 5-tire rotation, etc.) and I won't be lifting it or doing any serious mods for a while.
I would never get under a vehicle on a jack.

I place the jack under the axle (as shown in the manual). I assume I would put the jack stands there, too. Is that correct?

I have seen people position the jack under the differential, is that OK?

If I am only jacking or using the stands to raise either the front end or rear end (in other words, always having at least two wheels on the ground), am I OK using my 2 1/4-ton jack? (and 2 1/4 ton stands)

Thanks!

Above all with jack stands, get good ones, work on LEVEL ground, and for god's sake use wheel chocks. I ussually use 4 jackstands for one end of a vehicle. I'm really safety conscience after almost being cruched under a dumptruck years ago that was driven up on some wood blocks. I still remind my dad he almost killed me.
