A 1.5 to 2.5 ton jack is enough to lift one end of most cars and small SUVs. This group runs from compact steel jacks that fit in a trunk to long-reach low riders that go from under 3 in to 24 in. The light 1.5 ton aluminum jacks weigh about 30 lb and suit track days, but their 14 in top height is too short for trucks.
