Gee, 3-ton jacks are getting tiny; my ancient Craftsman 3-ton is a huge,havy monster of a thing (but it still works great after >20 years and it lifts the DenaliXL with hardly any effort).

Sam`s Club still sells the Blue 3.5 ton Michelin ones. Picked one up a few months ago for I think ~$65 and it is great. Reaches the frame of my truck in 2-3 pumps, has no problem picking it up, and it`s inexpensive. As far as jack stands, I have 2 pairs of 6-ton ones from Harbor Freight and they work great and are inexpensive as well. I think like $30 for a pair...

Thanks to everyone who replied - I really appreciate the input. I`ll keep my eyes open on upcoming visits to Sam`s. For now, I rolled the bones and picked up the Craftsman 3ton package before it went off sale on Saturday. Haven`t had time yet to use it but am optimistic that it will more than meet my needs. Now to find some time to use it...

Ive got the 2 ton aluminum jack with 4 6ton jack stands from Sears. Ive never had a problem getting my 3" lifted Jeep off the ground with it. I believe its lift height is around 18" or so.

My $18 Wal-Mart "GM Mr. Goodwrench" jackstands do the job pretty well.

If you need a ultra low profile jack, Harbor Freight has some pretty good deals on some.
