Jack Stand: A Jack Stand keeps a vehicle propped up after having used one of the following tools to lift the vehicle up. You want to place it under the axle or frame, depending on what you are focused on lifting. Rotate so the release handle is closest to you. You will lift the core as high as possible. By releasing the lifting tool, the vehicle will settle onto the Jack Stand. After using, use the release handle to drop the core saddle. They do have weight capacities to consider when purchasing.
YES: Yes, you want at least two of these in your garage and one in your rig to support the vehicle after lifting.
