Hey,

I'm starting to get all my gear collected for the oil change. I plan to get a 3-ton lift that will accommodate the Boxster and my Toyota 4Runner. Now I need a couple Jack Stands. The 4Runner needs 6-ton stands and those have a minimum height in the 15" range. That's a bit higher than the 3-ton types.

My question for you guys is, will a 15" minimum height be a problem when used with the Boxster?

If it will be a problem, what would be an appropriate minimum height be for the jack stands?

I searched this forum for "jack stand" and there is a ton (no pun) of information on them, but I did not see much for size suggestions.
