Under your vehicle!

Harbor freight jackstands have a massive recall on 3 and 6 ton stands, they fail under load. Take em back to harbor freight and get ya some store credit

I wouldn't trust my life to their stuff anyway!

Call me paranoid, but anytime I am under a vehicle supported with jackstands, there is ALWAYS a jack under the car or wheels stacked up, just in case.

But good post, as I have to check now.

I've restored and worked on cars for a long time, and at some point you get comfortable with this 4000lb plus thing above you, being supported by something made by the lowest paid and trained labor in the world....

Yikes haha

There are some things you just shouldn't try to save money on

A lot of stands out there are from one source, just rebranded.

If it will be in the air for a while, I'll build a couple piers under it with concrete blocks.

Mattresses, shoes and jack stands. LOL.

My Grandpa taught me to use wooden blocks, he said concrete/cinder blocks can crack and fail. Be careful under there.
