Not trying to start a debate or act like a know it all, but I would never use the ratcheting style of jack stands. I have heard of the rachet mechanism slipping or failing to catch properly. Not saying that these would, but life is too precious to take any more chances than neccessary. I bought a set of heavy duty pin style ones when I was a kid, and have never regretted it. These are not the tinny cheap ones that most auto parts stores sell, that can bend if you don't put the weight on them right. They are HEAVY duty ones that commercial garages use.
Just my 2¢.
