I know there is a formula for this I just haven't done anything like this in almost a decade. I'll look around. I'm sure I can come up with it.

The easiest way would be to find an industrial scale and a hand lift, just subtracting out the weight of the lift, but access to those things isn't common.

Whatever formula you find will need the change of weight over the length of the jeep which is impossible for him to find out. Unless it's already been calculated somewhere on the internet which I highly doubt.

I thought of an idea. Make a see-saw. Put one end underneath the car and on the other end keep adding weight till the car lifts up to the desired height. Here I made a diagram. Test with yourself. The weight on the other side should be equal to your own weight. If it is not then just use 2 different known weights and make an equation.

Thank you. I'm first gonna print it out and show it to my mom. If my mom thinks it's worthy of being placed on the refrigerator then I shall pursue a copyright. Gotta pass the refrigerator test.

Thanks guys for attempting to figure out how much I'd be lifting when I attempt it on my Jeep. I'm content with just attempting to lift it. If I do, awesome. If not, not so awesome.

I think you should have put a turtle in place of the jeep.
