    3 ton would be sufficient, my truck weighs 5800 pounds.

    why would you need 6 ton? if you bought 4 of them you could hold up 24 tons! WTF do you have that would weigh that much?

    yea i think mine weighs a little more since its a 7700 but then again a 3 ton jack can hold 6600 lbs and i dont plan on holding the entire truck up with these two stands. id only be supporting half the trucks weight. i guess no need for a 6 ton stand

    always get more than you actually need, just for the "oh ****" factor
