More than enough...make sure you purchase a GOOD set of jack stands as well, just using a jack is dangerous and NEVER acceptable. Also, what type of jack are you buying?
something like this
Craftsman 3 ton Floor Jack - Model 50136 at Sears.com
with a pair of these (actually i'd like bigger stands, more in the 6 ton range for added safety)
Craftsman 3 ton High Lift Jack Stands - Model 50159 at Sears.com
should do you just fine....

this is the exact jack that i have, and use all the time..... the only negative thing i can say about it is that it doesnt have the "one pump quick lift to chasis" feature.... since my truck is lifted, it takes a bit to reach it, so i usually use a block of wood in between the jack and truck to help out.
