It's min height is like the max lift for many jacks My concern is having enough lift to get the tranny from under the car.. Is the 6 ton overkill or can I get by with the 3 ton with it's 16 3/4" lift?

So I will be buying my tranny jack next week and I need 2 pair of jack stands. I was looking at getting the 6 ton set from HF due to it's lift range

When I put a car on jack stands, I always try to knock it off the stands before I get under it. Makes me feel better.
I wouldn't buy stuff from harbor freight. It's all made in China. I'll buy American, it makes me feel better.

they are made from heavy 3" tube that are split into 3 sections at the bottom, peices are bent out to form a tripod, then bars welded in between them for support. upper sections are slightly smaller diameter tube, then there's holes drilled in both for adjustments with a grade 8 bolt stuck thru...
then just lay underneath the car, pull the trans up onto your chest, and bench press it into place... arms get a bit tired after couple hours of trying to line up the pilot bearing and shaft though
