1.5 floor jack
Can a 1.5 ton floor jack lift the front tires off the ground? i want to do a lock to lock on my steering wheel on a 2005 acura tl. Some say yes and some say no. Can anyone give me the correct info? Many thanks.

whole car weighs 3500lb.
1.5 ton = 3000lb
So yeah, lifting the nose should no problemo. You don't even need the front wheels completely off the ground for lock to lock, just take some weight off them. In fact, if you are on concrete you can drive the front wheels onto some pieces of cardboard, they will act as skid plates.

I would put at least 3 pcs of cardboard since the Acura is FWD so all the weight is up front (Unless you plan to do this in a NSX)

If You are placing jack in front or back ( not i middle ) then wont be more than 500kg.... You are not lifting whole car...
I am using home depot 2000kg jack which is more than enough
