Suggestion. Perhaps you will consider adding this small detail to your instructions.

The gap between the staionary jack stands and the boxed jack points is important to consider. Try to keep it to an absolute minimum.

The pastic jack points are a pressed fit and will dislodge if you don't have control while lowering the vehicle which can result in damage $$. I see the plastic jack points are sold separately at your web site - good thing

I have done my research as well and the jack stands you recommend are the best so far. It would be helpful to have a jack stands that can be screwed up or down to contact the boxed jack points before releasing the hydraulic lift. Maybe one of us is going to manufactire and market something like this.

A few extra screw style jack stands could easily be placed around the vehicle for added safety.

The screw idea sounds like a fine one, and thanks for suggesting it. Unfortunately, I don't know of anyone who makes anything like this currently.
