That being said, I if I had the dough, I would get the 3 ton stuff, because it should be better built and safer, and you never know but you might need 3 ton stuff in the future.

I have 4 (STEEL) jack stands and they're 3 tons each and I would never use anything less. I only use 'em for 1/2 tons and my one daughter's Toyota pee-pot Corolla, but I feel pretty safe when I need to "go under".
Call me a coward if you will, but I think "too much" is way better than "maybe not enough" or "it looks OK so I hope it is".
"Over-kill" is fine by me.
