I don't trust them for these trucks.
Edit: I mean the scissor jacks. I use a 1.5 ton floor jack. Last edited by 68Timber; 01-06-2013 at 03:17 PM. |

And get jack stands under there as soon as she's up; especially if you are removing a wheel.
I personally like scissor jacks but they are less stable and are not safety stands. IMO--it's not so much getting the truck into the air but keeping it safely there. |
