Would this be a terrible idea? {aluminum jack stands)
My van is high clearance and I am small. I do not jack it up when working under it.
I do use a jack stand or two, though, when camped for a long time at an unlevel spot that would require 6 or more stacked blocks under the wheels.
Would it be bad to carry (and use) two of these instead of my current steel stands? The 10lb weight savings would be insignificant for most RVs but would be huge for my little van!
I do see that other Amazon customers have asked similar questions, but the answers given don't seem to be from knowledgeable car people. That's why I am asking you guys :).
NB: My loaded van is more like 4,000lbs, not the 6,000 the jacks are rated for.
