If you're wondering, the $23 version does NOT have the safety pins, while the $24 model DOES have the safety pins.
The locking pins of the better model guard against that and won't even go in unless the top part is in the correct position.

Even tho the sticker on each jack may say "3 tons rating" that rating is for a PAIR of jack stands, not each individually.
That is how all automotive jack stands are rated & certified, as per ASME, which all the manufacturers abide by.
I own Harbor Freight PITTSBURGH AUTOMOTIVE 3 Ton Aluminum Jack Stands. I use them on my 1/2 ton pickup truck.

If I'm just changing oil, I break out the ramps. Safer and way easier than lugging the heavy steel Jack from the back yard shed.

In a pinch you can even use the included jack and the spare as a placeholder and just rotate.
Even though you'll likely be safe with the 3 tonners, you may find the lift height to be somewhat inadequate, so you may want to consider bigger stands.
Double locking stands help to remove this possibility of user error.

A number of years ago I did a lot of reading on car lifting accidents and a significant percentage of jack stand related crushings were due to the operator failing to adequately engage the cam. It scared the hell out of me when it happened to me once. I had already placed the stand under the truck but wanted a little more height so I jacked up the truck a bit more and lifted the jack stand post up to the frame, incorrectly thinking it was locked. I lowered the jack and the stand held, initially, but just a bit later it didn't. I wasn't under it and the wheel was still on, so really no big deal, but a damn good lesson to check that cam and make sure it's good and locked.
