might be the wrong spot but didnt really see a spot for it.

Whats your prefernce between using a trolley jack or a bottle jack? I've never really used bottle jacks but they have a higher height capacity so Im considering body one but dont wanna waste the money if its not gonna be worth it.

Both my cars are pretty low so would a bottle jack fit easily? ive founf some that will fit nicely that hold 10 tons compared to 3 or 4 on my trolley jacks.

thanks

 

By trolley jack do you mean a traditional hydralic jack?
I haven't seen a bottle jack that could really be used on a Camaro. Their to tall. Besides that a 4 ton jack will lift your car completely off the ground. So unless you plan on having a car load of people in the car and you plan on lifting the whole car at once, a 2 ton is more then enough.
That will lift the whole front or rear at once. You could lift the whole side but I wouldn't advise it.

My other thought is you mean a sissor jack, but I have never seen one that has a high rating, don't like them or bottle jacks much, cause they are a lot less stable then a hydralic jack.

 

yea i meant a traditional hydraulic jack. I've just been seeing more an more bottle jacks in stores around here lately so I've been thinkin about gettin one. but it their not very stable its kinda a waste of money. i have a 2 ton and 4 ton trolley jack allready just thinkin about more

 

bottle jacks are great for road-side tire repair but i would NOT climb under a car that is supported by one. they can also be good for doing body work. good to have around but not for every day mechanical work!
