I am new to working on cars so I am also new the equipment you use now im looking into jackstands and a floorjack. Im looking at craftsman all my oither tools are made by them and they are great quality but i need to know what need 2 ton or 3 ton also for the jack.

Also if you think i need any other equipment please post them

Thanks, Al

 

For a cherokee all you need is a 2 ton jack but if you have a lift then I would go 3 ton cause its lift is higher. I would also look into jack stands. they usually come in a pair and you can pick up a cheap pair at harbor freight or advance auto parts

 

go for a 3ton jack, I went 2ton and I regret it even with out a lift,, you had to lift it at the axle for changing a tire,, the body was to tall. so go 3ton, also go with a 24" stans.. you will thanx me later.. the 16" ones are not enough...

 

Alright heres what im thinking

Jack stands -> http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...Lift+Equipment

 

Those are perfect. I have a 4 ton craftsman jack and i love it.

 

i would love a 4 ton but ya know high school student lol

 

haha. well you dont need a 4 ton.

 

those look real good

 

haha thanks guys

 

If you have a harbor freight near you I would check them out. There super cheap if you dont mind that there cheaper tools. I have an engine lift that I bought from there thats 4 years old and still works great. And its been stored outside too.

 

A good 3 ton jack will do everything you need it to do. Like Belto said, the unibody rails on these Cherokees are much higher than most other vehicles, even stock, so if you don't have any crib blocks lying around, try to find some. They make life so much easier.

 

yeap I use a 2x4 stack together so its a 4x4 now,, so I can jack it up from the rails...

 

to jack up the front end what do you put the jack under the 30?

 

yeap ^^^ thats how I installed my lift..

 

I bought my craftsman 3 1/2 ton floor jack about 5 years ago and its held up great. (came with jackstands). That set you mentioned should work great. Have fun!!
