If someone was to somehow balance the entire van on it at once, the capacity of the jack still wouldn't be my primary concern. From a safe distance that would be an amazing feat.
Realistically I'm lifting half of one axle with it, and it's rated to lift more than one entire end of the van. This is completely within spec and anything else would amount to carrying extra weight for no reason.

Yes, this jack is dimensions are awkward for storing it within an SMB. Where are you storing it?

Next to my tool box in the previous generator enclosure on my van. Yes, it does take up about 4x the space of a bottle jack. At times I've wrapped a tow strap around the top to use the space more efficiently.
