Is Automotive jack stands weight limit the individual stand or two
它答：
The weight limit on automotive jack stands is per stand, not combined.
For example, if a jack stand is rated for 3 tons (6,000 lbs), that means each stand can support up to 3 tons individually. When using two of them, they can together support up to 6 tons (12,000 lbs total) — assuming the weight is evenly distributed.
Always make sure:
You use jack stands in pairs. They’re placed on a flat, solid surface. The weight is centered properly across both stands.
Let me know if you’re working with a specific vehicle and I can help you figure out what rating you should look for.
I've used 3 ton jack stand pairs for similarly weighted vehicles many times, no issues (RX350, MDX, RDX ...) Jack in addition not required though not a bad idea for additional safety.
3 ton jack stand pair means each stand is rated for 1.5 tons for a total of 3 tons.
When using jack stand in pairs, part of the vehicle weight is on the remaining 2 wheels on the floor so not all of the 2.3 tons is on jack stands, maybe 2 tons at most? You need 2 pairs (4 stands) to get the entire car off the floor, which you would would 6 tons total at that point.
Invest in a good jack stand pair, not all are created equal.
Jack on level floor is optimum, but sloped driveway can work if done properly, use common sense.
Chat GPT可能误导了？我google了一下， home depot里的解释是“ all jackstand are reted as a pair, 6000 pounds total, not per jackstand. common misunderstanding that hte rating is per jackstand, but read the fine print."
is not enough. You also have to consider stability which is related to height and base size. Using a 3 ton jack stand, you have to raise it almost to its maximum height. Floor hardness (concrete vs asphalt) and level of the ground will affect its stability. When I tried my 3 ton jack under my Highlander (3.5L), I had to pull it up all the way. I did not feel comfortable, so I gave away my old jack and jack stands to a college student and bought a set of 6 tons. Anytime, I use my jackstands, I assume they may collapse. You don't want to assume they may be safe.
Please also keep in mind that front side of your car are much heavier than rear one.
老车 2009 toyota highlanders， 车重大约在2.32吨。我有一个3吨的floor jack 和一对3吨的Jack stand。网上解释的3吨的一对jack stand 其实单个的能支撑1.5吨的重量。我可以用这些安全的支撑suv？钻车底下干活？
谢。

我的两个是homedepot的huskey牌子的。3-ton的对于suv显的小，而6-ton的看起来又显的大。
还没有把全车支起来。所以想问问3-ton的jack stand行不行，因为我理解只是支起车前端，可能3-ton（2个）能行？
谢谢大侠
我可能只想把车前端支起来，干点力所能及的活。希望这个能行。多谢。

这就是我迷惑的地方， 3-ton的在suv车下，看起来是显的小；6-ton的看起来有太高，我的floor jack才是3-ton的，不知道能不能把suv支起那么高，以便放进去6-ton的Jack stand。多谢大侠。
实木墩至少6x6x12，辅以4x4或2x4，2/3由支架着力，1/3由实木墩着力，其他可不着力仅防备万一。
仅靠两个3吨支架很危险，没有备份支撑最好不要在车底下干活。
没在suv车下干过活，心里没底。以前是在轿车下干活，的确是把放个轮胎做“备份支撑”，像老哥说的，放的轮胎的顶端和车下面还有一小段距离，让人担心；这个实木墩方法不错。谢谢。
前一段时间做了一对木头ramp, 详见此帖.

我有次钻车底干活，还真发生地震，4.3级！在车底躺地下干活，一点感觉都没有。反而楼上的LD气汹汹的跑下来责问我干啥了，弄到房子咣铛地晃一下。我一脸懵然..... 事后才知道是发生了地震。
我当时在干个大活。用了四个3吨的jackstand（每边一主一副)把车头抬起，后轮上ramp上。当时还觉的奇怪，为何有一边的一个主stand有点滑位，副stand的顶紧了。
命大！
