Thanks for the video. You are risking your life under the truck which is just on 2 jack stands.

We did have a tire underneath the truck too in that video as a backup, but you do bring up a valid point. The likelihood of a 6 ton jack failing is probably slimmer than slim, but having a backup is a good idea. Usually where people get into trouble is relying solely on a hydraulic jack, mainly the small one that comes with the truck or car for emergency vehicle repairs. Maybe keeping the hydraulic jack in place on a cross member or a second pair of stands would be good, but I probably have a much better chance being struck by lightning than experiencing a failure of a 6 ton jack stand.
