2 tons is 4k pounds. The average full size sedan has a curb weight of 3200-3800lbs. Most people working on a car will use 1 stand to support 1 wheel; not an entire axle. If this is used on a single wheel on the front of a front wheel drive vehicle, it would be supporting ~800-1200lbs, well into the safe zone for a 2 ton stand. If you need bigger, buy bigger. For the average shade tree mechanic, this will work just fine.
Agree. As long as I'm getting charged more money, I know I'm getting a quality jack stand. If they increase the price of these I'll buy em
The ASME PASE jack stand standards say:"Maximum load capacity per matched pair shall not exceed the rated capacity of the individual stand"That means that each individual stand in this set rated at 2-tons should be able to hold 2 tons (4000lbs) by itself.
They do this because you never really know how the weight of the vehicle is going to be distributed between the stands. It might be 50/50 or 75/25 or ???.

Pretty good deal. Project Farm said these were great.
Alternatively, the off brand "Maasdam" used to be $20 for a pair that were 3 ton capacity that looked very similar to this. Not sure when and if they'll go back down
