If you're wondering, the $23 version does NOT have the safety pins, while the $24 model DOES have the safety pins.
The locking cams rarely fail if used properly (unless they are old HF models). But they can be misused by raising the stand under the car and getting it lodged between clicks, which can somewhat hold the weight of the car - until it doesn't.
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.

What percentage of that 6000lbs will be on the stands? 50%, 75%, 90% I really don't know the weight distribution of that vehicle and you probably don't either - so while you'll be within the range of these stands, you might be somewhat close to pushing the limits.
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.
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.
Double locking stands help to remove this possibility of user error.
Reason why I go with the higher ton rating for the lift height. Don't have to go to the max height compared to the 3 ton.
Is it safe practice to use 4 of these to jack up a car completely off the wheels so I can rotate the tires?
Everybodies situation is different, but how much does it cost to have your tires rotated vs the effort put into jacking up all 4 corners and placing your vehicle on an unstable platform of 4 stands? Ive done it and for me, it just isnt worth the effort. Besides, most tire shops give you free rotation for the life of a new set of tires.
Many ppl misinterpret the rating on automotive jack stands.
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.
Thanks, I didn't know that. Returned the Husky jack stand and opted for Black Widow car ramp for easier oil change in the future. It rated for 10,000 lbs.
I assume my F-150 weighs close to 6,000lbs. Would you guys trust these since they're only holding a portion of the vehicle?
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.
I was thinking the same thing but forgot how cars are rotated but on mine one side wouldn't work either Old school way or when using directional tires you switched front to rear though if I remember right. My neighbor keeps telling me to not swap sides when I rotate but Michelin and now Toyo both state on their website it's fine and to follow whatever the manufacturer says to do when rotating.
How many needed to safely lift a sedan for oil change, only two?
yup, just 2 for the front of the vehicle, no need to lift the back at the same time... although, you should really be rotating tires when you change oil, which would require 4, less of a concern for directional tires though.
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.

Yes, the rating is per pair, but if you dig down into the ASME jack stand ratings, they say that each individual stand must hold 200% of half of the pair rating. In other words, each stand must be able to hold the same weight that the pair is rated for.
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.

if somebody has already jacked up the front and has it on stands to do their oil... how much effort is it really to pull the floor jack around the back and crank it up a little, and slide another set of stands under to get the tires off..? far less time than driving to the shop and waiting for them to do it. on the plus side, always nice to know a garage isn't torqueing the hell out of my lugs because they're in a hurry (being they're making no money)... for that lug nut fight the next time you get a flat
"unstable platform"... that's hilarious. i've changed multiple engines/trans on 4 stands, it's anything but "unstable" on quality stands.

Exactly.
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.

agreed, same here... if i'm not doing anything under the rear or brakes, it's just on the floor jack and tires are barely off the ground. fronts are already off and i've already loosed the rear lugs a smidge with weight on the tires anyway, takes no time at all.
