Yeah, I think about all that, too, and do leave the jack in place unless it is in the way. But at some point or another I have to rely on trust. A floor jack could fail as we place our jack stands. There is more to fail on a jack than on jack stands. I also use as heavy as will fit under. I have stands for under frame, then stands for under lone components such as axles. Another thing I do is periodically clean and inspect for flaws.

Here is one outfit's idea. Uses a pawl type stand but maybe a pin type could fit (I don't like it, BTW)
