I sometimes use a 3 ton floor jack, but it barely lifts it. I usually i go for the 6 ton, but that's a bit overkill. I would say no less than 3 ton, but if you can find one go 4 ton. Don't forget a good set of jackstands too.

You got a defective one then. We carried those crappy chinese jacks on all our tow trucks and used them for changing tires on big duallies etc. Worked fine til they quit and then for $20 we got another one.

I've got a Hi-Lift that I hardly ever use and have a 12 ton bottle jack (I also have a 1976 Dodge Power Wagon, so yes, I use a HD jack) in the back that I use regularly.
