What is a good jack(Not too large or expensive) and jack stands to buy?

Should be fine. I got 3 ton just because - can't even remember, but I don't think they had anything
rated to less. Just make sure the minimum height on the jackstand in question isn't super high. It just gives you more flexibility IMO, especially for stuff like brakes where you don't need a ton of height.

Actually, the cheap 2ton jacks at HF are not safe. I've seen them break....not a good site IMO.
I think that's why they're dirt cheap. Hence the saying, you get what you pay for.

Standard height should be good enough. As long as you can get the jack stand up a couple
of notches, you should be good. I'd also get tire chauks, unless you're just gonna carry something to brace a wheel with. It's also good for the track days too...beats having to go find a rock.

my sears jack didn't fit under when the car was at 25" front and rear
but now at 25.25" it does. It's not so hard to just pull up on the fender and tuck the jack under there anyway.
