Two-ton jack okay for X5?

[John Galt]

Is my two-ton rated jack okay for use on my X5? Since the X5 is ~4600lbs, I would think so, but I'd like to hear what others use.

No prob, imo...I use a 2 ton and have lifted mine several times.
Easy jack point in front; the rear requires some careful placement.
I use a piece of old plywood wedged in on lift point cup on rear
susp. arm, close in to the rear diff. I've even used the rear diff
a few times, gingerly.

Never any problem, lifting and holding it...but, if you are going under,
I rec'd jack stands. Be careful, good luck.

The 2 jack should be plenty good since you're only lifting a quarter or at most half of the car. As mD indicated, always use jack stands as safety backup.

I use my 2 ton jack to lift one complete side of my X5 at a time. But I always use jack stands before I go under the car. By the way, I noticed that my jack was made in China after I bought it. I am going to replace it for a made in USA jack someday.

i think mines 2.5 and its fine. i have had no issues even lifting the front half of the car which is the heaviest with the engine and all :O
