Re: 12,000 LB jackstand...NOT!

I have never looked but it doesn't much matter.I always use at least 2 jackstands of a weight rating each of well over what I'm supporting.Very seldom do I ever lift both ends of a vehicle to work on it.And I usually leave the jack under it with the tension let off and the control valve closed.I also normally chock both wheels on the end I did nott lift.It's just too easy to accidently kick a chock out while wrestling with a tight or rusted bolt or nut.
