Please comment on my jackstand setup

hmmm... I'm pretty cautious when it comes to lifting the car. If i can get away with just ramps I do that; however, if i need to put up all four I used the jack mentioned in the second post. When I'm working under a specific part of the car, I have floor jack pushed up to the point in case on of the jacks fails.

Call me paranoid, but I live in California, and the last place i'd want to be during an earthquake is under my car because on the jacks wobbled loose.

Jack Stands with the adjustment pins are dangerous. I would never trust my life to that small pin just waiting to shear. Once it does reach a failure point, you'll have no warning with it breaks.
