When picking truck of our size I prefer to use 10k or larger not due to the weight but the shear size of the truck and the distance the trucks hangs out of each side of the lift. Ive put mine on a 9k lift. And i must say i was very nervous. Specially if you need to do soemthing that may rock the truck

I would assume jack stand rating is per stand, but why not ask the manufacturer to be sure. I'd just buy a drive on if it was me, I see them in auction listings quite often. :c:

Keith <edit> Just found another place with 2 ton high lift jack stands for $80 that is local and now that I have an F-350 to carry them in (instead of my Miata) I can go pick them up and avoid $120 in shipping costs! :D |
Either way you can put a stand under each corner and still have most of the weight on the lift :c:

But some jobs are easier if you can move the lift arms out of the way... so I still want to know the answer :humm: Keith |

I'd be nervous putting one of these trucks up on a 9k lift myself. Especially in a larger truck like a CC/LB or a CC/SB. They're pushing 8k by themselves...

Here are the official truck scale results for my F350 XLT crew cab long bed 4X4! With 75 miles on the odo since my last fill up (approximately 40 lbs of fuel less than full) with my fat ass in the drivers seat it weighed 7940 and without me it was 7680. So add 40 lbs for the burned fuel and you get a fully fueled weight of 7980 with me driving and 7720 with no driver.
So, even if the two ton load limit for the tall jack stands is 2 ton per pair I am able to use them as suplimentary load bearing and stabalization on the lift :rocking: Now I just need to pull $340.00 out of my ass for the jack stands! Later, Keith |
Looks like you got it figured out. I took a load to the dump the other day, and i weighed in at 8200 lbs leaving with about 14 gallons in the tank, and probably 300 lbs worth of humans in it. My truck is an 06 CCSB FX4. Good luck.

Somthing as simple as a different brand or size tires and wheels would make a weight difference, plus the add on's guages, coolant filter etc will add a little. :c:
