Agree with Black300zx. I generally find that the higher I want to lift, the more over-spec I want the jack to be. You're kind of all over the place, starting with wanting a 1.5-2 ton jack which is barely enough even if not high lift. IMO, even a higher quality jack if used at its limits, will not have great lifespan.
So I figured, you must want a light weight jack but then you turned around and got something very heavy for being 1.5T, of course to get more lift, but if your jack stands were $55 (later stated rose to $100), how much lift can they do, without resorting to the last height notch which I never like to use if it can be avoided?
Keep in mind, that if you're only lifting one end of a car, getting that end over 2' off the ground is quite an angle you're putting it in, cross-loading the jack stands, or are you lifting all 4 corners and already had a set of stands that the new stands would compliment?
It just seems to me that you'd be as well off getting a typical $150-ish, low profile 3T jack with ~20" lift, or something equivalent to the HF Daytona with ~24". An '01 Grand Prix isn't a special application that should need a special jack. If you want to also use it on a high ground clearance vehicle like a truck or SUV, okay then you may benefit more from 24" lift but you'll also want at least 3T rating.
