Hi All.
I have a Mack Brand Jack no 9301 2 1/2 Ton ,5,000 LBS
It has a piece of metal welded to the backside of the piece that rasies up
,that has a line of holes ,you can put a pin in, to keep it from going
down.I use a cheater Pipe with it.
I bought it at Wall Mart ,when I bought my Rig.
I have lifted the Rig many times with no problem.
Wall Mart doesnt seem to have them anymore.

Denis,
Now I'm really concerned and confused. Last weekend I bought a 3-ton floor
jack with the intention of using it to lift the front of my Rig to install
the front wheel hub spacers. Work and rain have prevented me from trying it
yet, though today it's finally clear and I'm off work so I'm planning on
giving it a try tomorrow.
Don't understand why a 3-ton = 6000# capacity floor jack would be
insufficient to lift a front end that weighed about 3700# on the truck
scale. Please explain.
Agree completely about the danger of walking into HFreight!
