Turbo,
You're kind to say it that way and I appreciate it. Yeah, something strange was happening on this post as I knew you'd replied according to the main page, but when I went to read your post it ended with my last post. Tried a couple times - denied. Strange.
Yeah, comparisons would be tough with your rigs as currently setup.
On the jackstands - yes, those are marginal under the 80 or any truck and I'd get bigger ones. But I also wanted to suggest that whenever you put any vehicle on stands and remove wheels, that you toss the wheel/tire under the truck somewhere so it's in a position to provide a last resort of protection against a jack slip or failure.
