Best Jack Stands: Reviewed and Ranked

Jack stands are the only thing between your chest and 4,000 pounds of car. A floor jack can fail — seal blows, valve sticks, hose pops — and when it does, you want steel under the frame, not hydraulic fluid. Get a pair (minimum) rated well above your vehicle's weight, set them on the manufacturer's pinch-weld or frame points, and lower the car onto them before doing anything underneath. Two pairs if you're pulling all four wheels. This isn't where you save money.
