The jack's barely strong enough to hold the car even in the best of conditions. If you breathed on it funny it would collapse. I wouldn't use anything less than a 2 ton jack.
GM Goodwrench advertises 1.5ton,I expect it to handle 1.5tons at least...the passenger side of the car was still on the ground thus not even putting anywhere near 2855 pounds of pressure on it.
