If you have either of these jack stand alternatives, I’d be interested in your experience - likes, dislikes, etc. I’ve talked myself out of a quickjack (too heave and too expensive) and these seem like just what I’m looking for. Any issues when raising the second side (lifting the entire front or rear)?

What do you plan to do? That would help.

I have no experience with either of those brands...but wish to add that you block the wheels of the vehicle so that it does not roll away when you lift the wheels that are 'in Park' or affected by the parking break.

These would be used for suspension work, brakes, tire rotations and the like where it is necessary for the tires to be off the ground.

Yes, familiar with that article, thanks. I am particularly interested in the Rennstand and Jackpoint design as it does not require using a jack with a jack stand next to the jack (or elsewhere). Not a lot of info out there on them, so I was hoping for some real-world experiences here.

No experience with those. As a kid we would use the lift at the gas station where a friend of mine worked. A friend of mine is a shade tree mechanic and has a lift in his garage. Good luck

Just because you can,
doesn't mean you should

I like the made in USA part and they look nice but pretty pricey.
I just use a 1.5 ton jack on the front or rear cross member and some higher quality stands on those jack points along the side for the stands (or frame rail if possible).
That also depends on the type vehicle your working on and if you can jack it like that.
