Any Recs For Jack Stands For Supercrew

I would appreciate any thoughts on jack stands for my 2002 Supercrew.
I looked at various stores and found a 3 ton pair at Wally World that looked good and heavy. I will only be rotating tires and doing normal maintenance.

What do the rest of you use for stands ?

3 Ton MVP Superlift. The were included with the jack which I picked up one day at Kmart for $29. It has a range from 13" to 21". I don't like the jack at all. I think the axle is about 13" and the frame rails 14".

They work fine, but I have used the larger jack stands in the past and the extra hight and stability are well worth it if you use them a lot and have room to store them.

I use them mostly to rotate the tires. They were paid for with two tire rotations, and I'm on my third truck.

My two cents: make sure they are tall enough to get your truck tires off the ground. I have an old pair and an old hydraulic jack I have been using for the past decade and a half .When I went to rotate my screw tires the first time I found out that the truck is higher than my previous vehicles. The jack wouldn't get the tires off the ground without a couple of thick boards underneath on the ground. Ditto for the stands.
