Will 3 ton jack stand hold up a h3

[poweraidon]

I want to paint my wheels and I have to take em off. I was wondering if a pair of 3 ton jack stands will be able to hold up the h3? I will be painting two wheels at a time so the h3 will be held up by 2 jacks stands and 2 wheels? Do you think it will work?

Yes, I used to use them to rotate my tires all the time.

Yes - using two 3-ton stands means it is distributing the weight of the truck and can hold 6-tons in the area. The whole H3 is not even 3 tons.

I have seen pics w/ OEM rockrails holdin the entire truck up w/ 4 jackstands. I think 4speed posted it. So maybe you could do all your rims at the same time. Oh, if you have rockrails...

Except that he says he has only two jack stands. I always try to over due it. I would use the jackstands but also leave my two jacks in place. I also usually place a couple of wheel/tires under the vehicle in the vicinity I am working in.

Agreed, just a thought to save time when paintin all at the same time. Also if, he has rockrails...
