Default Truck Jack and Jack stands

I wanted to buy a jack and some jack stands for my '00 Silverado, 2WD, Crew Cab, 2500 so I can start doing minor repairs myself. Could I get some recommendations on what is a good company?

I was looking at the Torin, but I prefer something made in the good 'ole US of A.

I don't mind a few extra dollars to get a good quality jack.

Thanks everyone..

I got my floor jack from a harbor freight sidewalk sale.
It is made by "Pittsburgh"
And on it reads heavy duty rapid pump.
Oh, and it is a 3 ton.
And I have duralast 2.5 ton jack stands.
Your truck is only a little heavier than mine,
al you really need is a 2.5 ton jack and jack stands.

Though to be honest, I would be surprised if either were actually
REALLY made in the US

Thanks for the reply. 99% of the inventory at Harbor is made in China. I'm trying to stay away from the their stuff when it comes to safety.
