2ton for civic?

[doriftospeed]

mga peeps, tanong ko lang. Nakakuha ako ng 2 ton jack for dirt cheap. Wondering if that is enough (weight and height) para i lift and 97 civic para mapalitan tires and oil change. thanks.

oo naman...less than 2 tons lang ang cars and pick-up. kung mga nkr, canter .... hindi na pede yan.

dapat bumili ka rin ng jack-stand...most lift jack can lift but not hold on that lift...so pagkalift mo, salpakan mo ng jack-stand

Have to agree with this. For safety reasons ito. Although some shops use only jacks, it's advisable to put stands. You'll never know when the hydraulics will fail (or someone pulls the release while you're underneath ).

A 2 ton jack will work, but know that the only thing that holds the car up are some O rings inside the piston and enough pressure to keep it steady. Get a good set of 2 ton jackstands and place them on the jackpoints (use wood if necessary) to relieve stress on the jack.

Of course, provided your Civic is near empty with luggage. This makes it much easier too.

Awesome. Will buy jack stands talaga, better safe than sorry. I was just reading someplace na yung guy ginamit 2ton jack but nasa limit na daw yung jack and hindi pa umaangat yung gulong sa ground. although Could be a blown suspension daw. I just wasnt sure kung limit na yung 2ton para sa civic. ayaw ko lang bumagsak kaagad pag akyat. hehe.

you can get jackstands from DIY shops. Less than 2k for a pair.

kaya ako minsan nag dadala ng block of woods ,pag mejo malayo ang pupuntahan at may mabigat na kargada.para pwede pang tukod at pang kalso sa Gulong na din

2 tons is roughly 4,000 lbs. already.

But yes, use jackstands. Nasa Php750.00 dati sa SM (KYK Brand).
