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.

You'd be fine. 3T is probably more than the max weight your axles can individually handle anyway. Even on my dually with the front end weighing almost 4600 and the rear weighing just under 3800lbs I could use these without a load in the bed. I just prefer overkill and have 6T stands and a 4T floor jack. The max weight of your F150 is probably 8,000 (door jam will say all of these max weights) so yes 3T for each "end" will be fine. If it's stock height you'll probably be fine as well depending on where you put the stands at. I've always put mine under the axle about where the shock mounts are in the rear and up front I put them in a couple spots depending on what I'm doing, normally under the front cross member.

if it's not obvious... car in gear/park (yes more of a concern for RWD, but still good practice), ebrake on, chuck (piece of 2x4 or similar) behind the rear wheels.

The ANSI standards are little more lenient, stating that each individual jack stand must hold 150% of half of the pair rating.
Not that it really matters, as they should always be used as a pair anyways. To be used singly puts weird side loads on them that they are not designed for.
"unstable platform"... that's hilarious. i've changed multiple engines/trans on 4 stands, it's anything but "unstable" on quality stands.

Except that I don't even bother with the other set of stands in the back. I know, I know, people will frown at this for being unsafe, but 3 support points (jack stands in the front and jack under rear center lift point) is stable enough to remove/reinstall wheels and it's not like I'm getting underneath it anyways.

but i wasn't going to suggest people do it
ASME says that individual stands must hold 200% of half of the pair's rating. So a 6-ton pair must also be able to hold 6-tons each.

He's not entirely wrong.
The 200% load test is what falls into the safety margin, which is not to be considered the actual (ie. working) load of the stand.
Sure, the individual stand is tested at 200% load, and will (should) hold that load (tho I don't know their spec for 'duration' of that 200% loading), but for the purpose of actual working load, that excess 200% load doesn't apply.
I'm surprised they have allowed jack stand manufacturers to get away with as much as they have, regarding vague & often misinterpreted labelling of their products.
Plus, not every individual stand is load tested. One faulty weld can kill.
