Was looking at jack stands that were 6 ton cap. ? good for a motor hm? with a 7000 lb rear end, using two of them.

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.

Good info. ----- Still should be good for 7000 lb

I used THESE stands along with this THIS jack. Used to carry them in the coach to level at a camp site before I added jacks to the coach.

6 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.

I 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.
