    Trolley Jack

    What size trolley jack do you use to lift your Patrol?
    I have 3000kg jack stands but not sure on the minimum size for the jack.

    Mine is also 2500Kg

    I have lifted one whole end with it, but remember, you are normally only lifting one corner at a time, so 2500Kg is ample.

    Are you able to lift the full rear with the 2000kg trolley?

    I use a 2000kg trolley jack and it lifts my Patrol easily. I use 5 ton axle stands for height/clearance.
    Got them from TradeTools ages ago.
