That is a lot of jack stands there.


Not for me it isn't! When I get em up I put huge wood blocks under em. Them shaky stands scare the hell out of me. If I have 2 tires on the ground I will use em but if I ever get a vehicle in that shape you can make book it will have some real stable supports under it.
Your brain will work far better if it is contained by your skull! I don't take ANY chances of being mashed to death.
