That is exacty why I bought 12 ton jack stands, MH goes up and the stands go under the axle. 12 ton is over kill on a 16000 pound MH, but I figure my life and well being are worth it.

Careful with the jack stand weight capacity. More than likely rated capacity is the pair, not individual. The manufactures are probably very conservative with rated capacities just avoid pushing the envelope too much.

For the readers that have never experienced it, concrete will fail, catastrophically, very quickly. In other words it will crack without warning. Harbor Freight or Northern Tool carry stands with weight ratings of over 20 tons. Be safe and go camping.
