Ramps should always be the first choice, they are safer and easier to use. The only reason to use jackstands is if you are removing a wheel or need all 4 corners lifted.

Unless one has been locked in a cave for the past decade there is nothing random nor nonsensical about the name "Amazon" when a remote location is cited. The company has the capability of delivering entire catalogs of jack stands and associated equipment to any locations, no matter how remote; even Pahrump, Nevada.

This story has been all over the local news in Las Vegas. Apparently he was the only fatality in the two consecutive days of earthquakes that we had.
