Cool! Thanks.
Yeah, I Definitely, need to upgrade my jack. I had to use cinder blacks under it to get it up high enough to add my rear bumper. -It's barely tall enough to change my tires. Maybe I can get my wife to get me one for Christmas

Costco has a good 3.5 ton and right now it just a $100. That's what I have and couldn't be happier.

I would like to lend a helping hand if I can! Would I be able to get some help via tools etc, to install a front driveshaft I still have laying around?

Don't go cheap on a jack. Find a good high quality jack. Nothing worse then having a vehicle up on jack stands and have the jack hydraulics take a dump on you. Now your vehicle is stuck up in the air.

I have the Costco one and love it , I put it trough some crap what I love the most is it goes up to 21" , so when you axles are 19" off the ground ( most jacks go to 18" ) it nice I can get the jeep up

I might be down to come it depends on where you live in San Diego
