99stillRunning Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Hi Guys, Im driving my brothers 99 Honda CRV 4WD with 127,273 Miles on the Odometer. well, yesteday I was inspecting the contents of the trunk and noticed that the scissor car jack was missing so I need to get a new one. I was hoping you guys could tell me how much weight the new jack should be capable of lifting. The car is about 2 tons. Should I get a jack that can lift greater than 2 tons or is 2 tons good enough? Thanks and regards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) Unless you plan on lifting all four corners at once with the jack in the middle I think a 2 ton for lifting one corner will be more than sufficient. Your crv is a popular car with many of them rusting away in salvage yards. You could pull a jack kit from a yard for $10-$20 and have the exact jack that fits the OEM mounting location if you are a stickler for that sort of perfection.
