Default Floor Jack and stands
What capacity floor jacks are suggested for econoline 250? I dont see / find any floor jacks more than 4 ton capacity. I have two 6 ton jack stands and needed a floor jack to pump lift it up.

Ok thanks. 4 Ton Floor jack with two 6 ton jack stands should work. Van is 7000lbs plus I guess?

With a floor jack, your only max lifting one end at a time.
Even if it were weighing in at a gross of 8K, one end would be near half the gross (2 ton/4k) depending on which end your lifting.
