only at the limit if you were placing the entire weight of the vehicle on the jack, which would be a pretty neat trick to see somebody balance their entire excursion on a floor jack
Most people will place the jack under the axle out near the wheel and lift one wheel at a time, weight would roughly be 7000/4 or 1750lbs
given the nature of the chicom jacks nowadays, a 3 ton or better is still a good call.

Fwiw... I bought a brand new craftsman 3 ton jack, put it under my ex, 2 pumps and it blew the cylinder out. Tried to return it and was denied. Have never been back to sears.
Bought the HF 3.5 ton and it has worked flawlessly for the past few years. Pretty sure it is on le right now for $80

I do not see a 3.5t in HF's latest mailing, or website. There are a few different spins of their 3 ton...least expensive $89......with the 20% coupon on the back.
I have an old Craftsman I may replace...still debating....

Pirate- My Arcan's are from Costco and work great. My Dad has an older one that has worked for a long time too.
Those Craftsman jacks aren't good at all, had a buddy which had to replace a couple different ones. Unfortunate dor the brand.
