sears usually runs a good deal on the craftsman 2 1/4 ton floor jack and jack stands if you wait around.

I have a 3 ton floor jack from Craftsman, that I bought for $50 when there was a special. I was looking at their 3 ton jack stands but for $5 more I might buy the 3 1/2 jack stands, and I have the Craftsman 2 1/4 ton floor jack that I bought last year.

I guess if you own a SUV or a truck maybe, but one of those are rated to support MORE then the entire weight of 2 of my cars.

the caprice might have a bit of weight, but a pair of 3 ton jack stands (6 thousand pounds) would be more then enough to hold up just the front end of either of those cars.
