  1. Any 3 ton floor jack will work just fine.  A ton is only about 2000 lbs. so anything over 1 1/2 ton work load will work.  And use jack stands with it.  Don't want to get crushed.


  2. Any of these jacks will do.  Your car is only 3200 lbs which is a little over 2 tons.  When you lift the car, you are only lifting half the weight of the car, the other half is supported by the 2 other tires.

    Any jack that can lift 1600 lbs will lift your car, that mean any 1 ton jack will be able to lift your car.  Costco has a very nice 1.5 ton jack.

    Having said that, when working under the car, always use jack stands to support your car after you have lifted it.

  3. Any one or two ton jack will do the trick the thing to look for is for it be low profile to fit ez under the car. Remember your car weighs 3200 lbs but your not picking up the whole car.
