correct racing jack weight

hi guys

whats the recommended racing jack weight limit for our cars. No real weight reduction other than minimal stuff, probably weighs around 3300. 2 ton or 2.5 ton?

You only lift half the car at one time with a race-jack so 1000kg will be plenty

Generally speaking the higher the jack capacity the beefier and more stable the unit and the less the effort to jack the car. 1.5 ton is fine most 2 ton just makes the job easier.
