People ask also, what kind of jack do I need for a Jeep Wrangler? Yes, a 2-ton jack is enough for a Jeep Wrangler. Because jeep wranglers have 3500 lb plus weight, and this could be lifted by a 4000 lb load capacity jack. The best way is to check your jeep’s weight first, then look for a jack of enough capacity that can lift your jeep wrangler.
Likewise, is a 2 ton jack enough for a Jeep? 2 ton will be enough for a Jeep. The bigger issue is not the rating, it’s the height. You may need the 6 ton ones anyway just to reach.
Also, can I jack up my Jeep on the differential? The owners manual specifies where to jack up the jeep when using the factory scissor jack. Anyone with common sense wouldn’t place a scissor jack under the diff, but a floor jack is fine.
Also know, what kind of jack do you use for a lifted Jeep? As mentioned, the stock scissor jack should reach the axle and be able to lift the tire off the ground no matter how much lift the Jeep has, unless the tires are bigger than 35’s. If the stock jack is too short because your tires are big, a size-able piece of wood under the stock jack should work fine.
