Somebody mentioned in another thread that Pepboys has a 3 ton jack, two 3 ton jack stands and a sliding roller for 79.99 - 15 rebate.

I bought it, jack says height is from 5.x" to 15.x". Is 15.75" inches enough to jack the back up? I'm not sure it is. It's one of the smaller type jacks not the big ones they use at tire shops. Don't want to open it up and return it and mess the store up (I think they eat the loss on returns) but I will in a few days if nobody knows if 15.75 inches is enough on the backend

Exactly. I have a 3000 pound aluminum jack from Harbor Freight and I'm never going to lift more than a quarter of the total weight of the car. I lift it up, throw the jack stands (3 ton rated) under there and move the jack out of the way. A lot of people get in trouble when keeping the car up with the jack. They were not made for that.
