Since you pointed out I have checked the weight capacity of my stands. Fronts are 3.5t and backs are 4000lbs each. Should I not trust them for this project? The reason for this set up is I trust pin type jack stand more than ratchet type especially in the heavier back side. I have a Sears aluminum ATV jack exact same as rsr91128 has. Minimum height of this jack may be about 2 inches.

Your fronts are 7,000 lbs each while the backs are only 4,000 lbs. I had the same jack stands and the thin supports are buckled. I junked them a long time ago. Use the same 3-ton or better a 6-ton JS for the back. Be safe.
