Can these 3 Ton SUV Jack Stands be used on a compact car?

They could but would find ones that were not as tall as these to start with. These may be an over kill for a car. Even at a low setting on these your car will be way up high and your jack would have to be able to get it there and if it could I would be scarred of placing one side up that high while jacking the other side up. Like I said, shop for a shorter stand to start with. Other than that, these are a high quality stand, so find it's lil brother... lol

As long as you can jack the car up high enough, they would be fine. The problem is having a jack that raises high enough to clear the stands. I bought a jack that, fully extended, is 2" too short to lift the car onto the stands. They're great- just make sure your jack is up to the task!

Yes, I used these on an 08 Impreza as well as an 06 Honda Civic when changing brakes.

These are NOT jacks or jack stands. The base is too narrow and the feet are not connected so they may sink into asphalt, gravel or soil. They are perfect for stabilizers when the wheels or jacks are used to support the weight of the unit.

Probably not, and still have enough height to lift the vehicle off the ground. I have a Dodge Charger, and the first few inches of lift are used up in suspension travel before the tire even starts to leave the ground. Then when I have the tire a couple of inches off the ground, most of the height of the jack is used up. You may have to use a 2x4 under the jack for added lift.

No. You will have to lift it a few inches with a stock jack first, then the big jack will fit in the space. A stock is the one that comes with a new car.

There is a video on YouTube showing this set on a smart car. As long as you have a little extra engine compartment space and are clever about mounting (get extra brackets and air hose) you'll be fine. These horns are not on a solid bracket so you can mount then each individually.

Yes it will one wheel at a time. and as long as it doesn't have a load on it. and as far as I know they do make 3 ton jacks. it worked on my S 10 2001 Chevrolet.

I would believe so. Check for the reinforced chassis areas. The capacity of this jack is 1.5 tons so don't over load. block the wheels and use jack stands on a stable and flat surface.

These jacks are primarily for stabilizing trailers. They do not " jack up" (or down), but rather, their movement is accomplished by turning the screw. I hope I've given you a proper description from which to determine their suitability for your specific need.

Hi Susan. I suspect it would work as an aftermarket jack provided it is located under a frame member and is rated to support the weight.

I don't think I would try that. They seem like they might be a little light for a vehicle of that size.

I would not recommend it...I dont think it will raise your truck high enough as your body is high to begin with....I had to place 2x6 boards under the jack to lift it high enough for my Honda Element SUV.

It stands approx. 3 to 3.5 feet tall and about a little bigger then a 12inches around...if you have a compact car, probably not but mid size , yes..

Every car has the same frame from where the car needs to be lifted so yes this should work for your car but the question is if it will work for your jack , this is a adapter for big floor jacks

I don't recommend it. The only way I was able to lift the front end of my '04 Accord up high enough to get jack stands under it was by awkwardly lifting each side at the front subframe. This jack just doesn't go high enough to be of much use. It's also really bad quality. I would get a decent floor jack to lift the car, and then of course put jack stands under the reinforced lift points.

I would not use these for anything that is suspended, like a heavy car. These are a lighter jack and work great for additional support to balance or keep a trailer from rocking. I used them on a trailer with single axle to keep the trailer from tipping back with too much weight in the wrong places since I was working on the surface of the trailer and walking around. They would work also on RV trailers to stabilize the movement of the trailer when parked.....

I think it would as long as it's ground clearance isn't too high. This jack has a short lift, I'd guess it's about 1 foot at most when completely extended. I have a compact car and it provides just enough lift to remove a tire, but it's useless with my truck. If you get this I'd carry a wood board to set it on to make it more useful, especially if you're going to use it in a muddy or sandy area.

No problem - each jack will support 6000lbs. The Camry weighs less than 3500lbs total. If you put it up on 4 jacks, you will be using 30% of the rated capacity.
