    Which ton jack stands?

    210 on tandem galv. Trailer. I can't decide on 3 ton or higher. Plan to keep it on jacks to help save new tires, and I also need them to take the tires to be installed. I know 3 is well over weight of boat and trailer, but is it enough for long term?

    Yes, You are using 6,000lb stands X2=12,000lbs to support a boat that is lees than half that loaded including trailer.

      The stands won't lose there integrity unless they get damaged.

        Thanks. I'll actually be using 4. Can my Yukon jack lift it or should I get a floor jack?

          I have a DHM double axle trailer for my 210. My yukon jack doesnt fit under the axle - too high at its lowest point.

            Floor jack it is. Hate spending the cash but inguess that's how you acquire a nice tool set without dropping 6k at one time.

              I got a 3 ton floor jack from sears with stands for like 100-125 bucks. A small cheap floor jack will not like lifting your boat and will be unstable as can be. Some of the cheap stuff doesn't seem to be rated properly. Also the larger jack stands will have a bigger footprint that makes them more stable.
