If the car is on jack stands with wheels removed, slide the wheel under teh frame of the car in a way it doesn't obstruct your work. A safety net should a jack ever fail (it should not ever though)

YOU DON'T DO AUTOMITVE WORK CLEARLY! People who own jackstands dont pay $900 for a tire package at the local rip-off shack that offers a free alignment that damages your car.

So you are saying these are quality stands?
Next time you get a flat and have a hard time removing the lug nuts, have your wife remove them for you.

There's 2 very different aspects regarding that.
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...

Lots of good advice in that article, but he's wrong about:
Therefore, a 6-ton rated jack stand has only a 3-ton maximum load individually.ASME says that individual stands must hold 200% of half of...

This guy did a fairy decent write-up on the topic of automotive jack stand load ratings. It's pretty accurate. https://agradetools.com/jack-stands-rating/

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...

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...

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...

Acting as if front to back is not normal or mixing with a left to right the next time. Obviously if you are crossing that doesn't work.
