Jack stands replacement

[RussGW270]

So, jack stand was on my list... go figure, it bumped itself to the top today.. heh

Any reason to get the same 2500lb vs a 5000lb?

Thanks

I think I understand what you're saying, there!

You certainly don't need the 5K capacity. One thing I would suggest is that, if you don't already have it, get one with a "drop leg" so you don't have to do as much cranking.

Exactly...it has one but seized up. Was going to replace it....last part left to ditch...but I think it finally had enough. Plenty of grease, just old. I was able to lft it but not lower it but I have air bags so got it on the truck and then pullet it off the block of wood.

ordering a new 2500lb today but will not be here for a week so, no big deal. Got it on the truck so time to hit the lake muahaha...with jackets

next on the list, after an a/c.....enclosure.

Thanks again Mr Dennis
