Beware of jack stands ratings. The ratting often applies to vechicle weight, not to actual load.
I had 5 tons HD stand and 15 tons coach once. I figured out 1 corner will not weight 5 tons, but took precaution while lowering coach on the stand.
The 5 tons stand split under the coach weight with no visible resistance.
Having lot of wood scraps, I think some 2x12 under the wheels are unbeatable.
Theoretically blown tire can still crush you under, but that risk is very low.
