All other jacks (3, 4 tons) min height is 5"/5.75"

We use a 2 ton jack, that will jack up 4,000 pounds. Now unless you plan on adding weight to you're stang go ahead and get one, they are very versatile and WAY lighter than the larger jacks. Just remeber to use jack stands when ever you jack something up.
If you balanced your entire car on a stick and placed that stick on a jack and tried to jack it up....then a 2 ton jack will be close to its limit....but still work.
You would have no use for a 3-4 ton jack unless you were jacking construction equipment or semi trucks.
A 2 ton jack will do more than you ever will need for your stang.

I have 2 Craftsman 3 ton jacks that came with stands, but usually use 6 ton stands because they're taller. Sometimes the jack is a little taller than air dams and things, so I lift on the car a little by hand and shove it under. Ive actually had something off the ground with a jack on each end, but I wouldnt recommend it....
