Do yourself a favor and get a 3ton jack, or at least look up how much your car weighs. It's probably more than 1.5 tons without all the crap you keep inside.

There are videos on youtube on the failure test of jacks, 2-ton rated jacks failing point are more than 4-ton (but less than 5).

You're at most lifting 1/2 a car with a jack. Even with that conservative estimate, a 1.5 ton jack can safely work on a 6000lb car, which is more than what a new Ford F150 weighs for reference.

do you actually think that the 1.5 ton jack can only lift 1.5 ton?
using this jack is fine for most cars, just make sure that you use something else besides a hydrophilic system.

Never liked ramps - not sure why folks feel safer with them. But to each their own.
