Jay21 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Would a 2 ton jack be cutting it close? Should I look into a stronger jack? Also it's been awhile. There's been ALOT done since I sunk it, here's an update Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just for swapping tires If I get flat, I have no idea how much comanches weigh, also does this look like the base model ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not a whole lot. I think base weight without mods is something like 3200 lbs for a short bed 4wd? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Eagle Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 The weight is still around 3200 pounds. I think the distribution is about 60% front/40% rear, so that's 1920 pounds. A 2-ton jack is more than enough. I carry one of these in the back of my Cherokee. I've lifted the entire front or rear axle with it several times. No problems to date. https://www.harborfreight.com/2-ton-compact-trolley-jack-64874.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think that little jack would be at its limit (height, not weight) if I were on 31" or 32" tires. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
