I know this isnt really the point of the thread but the HF jackstands work great. Ive got 4 sets of them and have been using them for years. I used one of the 3 ton jackstands under the axle of my dads fifth wheel that weighs over 20K under one of the axles with no problems. Ive also used ONE of them under the front of my dmax when replacing a bunch of front end parts and its still going strong. There isnt much to jackstands IMO, now their bits, and hand tools suck but Ive had great luck with their jacks and jack stands. I finally killed my long throw jack from them after 5 years of lifting way too heavy stuff with it. All it needs is a new hydraulic cylinder and will be good to go again. As you said a lot of stuff these days is just renamed crap.

I've had one in my truck for awhile now. I make a good bit of power with nitrous and it works great. I don't notice any issue during normal driving either
