Match the pair, support points and height
- Read the vehicle’s service procedure. Confirm where a jack may lift and where the stands may support the vehicle. The points can differ. Identify the load the stands must support.
- Check the exact stand labels for a per-pair rating, support range and allowed setup. Choose a matched pair, use hard, level ground and chock the wheels that remain on the ground as instructed.
- Inspect the bases, saddles and locks. Engage all required locking parts, lower the vehicle onto the stands as directed and verify stability from outside the vehicle before working.
The NIOSH vehicle repair guidance emphasizes supporting and chocking raised vehicles. Stop using any stand with damage, missing hardware or an unresolved recall. Check exact model and lot information with the maker and the NHTSA recall lookup.
See the floor jack guide for lifting equipment and the scissor jack guide for roadside tire changes. For supported workshop jobs, see the brake lubricant guide and garage tools guide.

FAQ
Is the ton rating on jack stands for each stand or the pair?
Read the exact label and owner’s manual. The pairs listed here specify or are sold with a pair rating. Use the matched pair exactly as instructed.
Where should I put jack stands under a vehicle?
Use the vehicle maker’s specified support points. Confirm they are separate from or compatible with the lift points used by your jack.
Can a floor jack alone support a vehicle while I work underneath?
Use the manufacturer’s approved support method and properly rated stands before getting under the vehicle. Keep clear of a vehicle supported only by a jack.
Will a taller stand fit a low car?
Check the lowest support height, saddle fit and the height the vehicle can be raised safely. Compare the actual dimensions before buying.
What should I do if a stand is damaged or recalled?
Stop using it and check the maker’s instructions or recall remedy for the exact model and lot.
