I am thinking about getting an electric jack to keep in the trunk of my SRT8, to go with the spare SRT8 wheel/tire and needed hand tools. They seem to come in two lifting amounts: 1 ton and 2 ton. Would the 1 ton jack be good enough to lift the car on the side of the road and change a tire (if ever needed)?

It is an electric scissor type jack if anyone was wondering...

-thanks.

I'm interested as well. Can you give the link to where you've found them? If both fit under the car, I would spend the money on the 2 ton.

Just cruising ebay for now.
But later I am going to make the rounds at a few of the auto parts stores and Sam's.

Those little hydraulic 2-ton jacks are easy to use, small and fairly cheap. I'd recommend one of those.

I would get the two ton one to be on the safe side. Can never be too careful when lifting one of these babies!

I have seen these in the Heartland America catalog, for 59.99. go to the web site, and search for it. I'm thinking of getting one myself. I now have a small hydrulic floor jack that fits in the storage area, this will work ok, but the electric one might take up less space.

Hello Gang,

I did some research on the curb weights of the 300 series. Hopefully this will help everyone here. This information comes directly from the 300 section on the Chrysler website. The information is as follows----

300-3721
300-Tour-3767
300-Tour-4041 (AWD)
300-Limtd-3767
300-Limtd-4041 (AWD)
300-300C-4046-
300-300C-4251 (AWD)
300-SRT8-4160

Hope this information helps....

More info:

and the 2 ton clearance is 5.5"

Is there 5.5" clearance on the jack locations?
