Can someone link me to some suitable jack stands to use while changing the tires on my m51a2 (one at a time)?

Thank you,.
I like your idea of doing one at a time. Safer that way. I've done all 6 at once more than once.

Learn from my mistakes. Don't skimp on safety devices. I did it with harbor freight jack stands, and they recalled them for being defective afterwards....

Get some good ones, like the ones pictured, with locking safety pins as pictured. Don't be squished flat.

I squashed a 6ton rated jackstand with an unloaded M200A1 weighing less than two tons.

There was a slight slope involved, and I certainly didn't trust it or get under it, but i really didn't expect it to fold up.

The irony is that this jackstand had previously been used successfully under my (now @cessnapilot89 's) deuce as well as under my wrecker. In these instances I did crawl under it.
