- Son_of_NorwayExplorerI use 6 ton stands when I work on my HR. Make sure that the stands are the right height to use and extend under the frame. I also have a smaller set of stands for the axles. I also have a set of ramps which I prefer to use when I can.

(My kids are going to curse me when they have to get rid of all this junk someday.) - superkExplorer6 tons is 12000 lbs.
if you use 2 of them, thats 24000 lbs.
if your rear axle is 7000 lbs capacity you are way overkill. Then again, thats what you want :)
As mentioned, just make sure they are the right height. - Dale_TravelingExplorer II
- cbeierlExplorerIMPORTANT NOTE: Jack stands are rated for the pair! A pair of 6-ton jack stands will support a total of 6-tons, not 12-tons.

Good info. ----- Still should be good for 7000 lb - I went with 12 ton from HF to use on my trailer.

What ever you get make sure you know how high or low you want to be.
