Ok this thread is starting to bug me, Nothing exactly aganst you all, more of a word of warning. Using jack stands are great. But, out here in CA, a few years back a local college professor was using jack stands (four) under a van. A blunderign gust of wind happened by.. you can take guess at what happened. I personally will only use jack stands if I am going ot have the tires removed. Just please be careful.
