Cool, I appreciate the quick feedback. It gives me something to work with for ideas. I expect them to settle some so we will see, thanks again.

Depends. 6-ton stands are way overkill for my YJ, but they don't reach the frame. I can even drive over them when they're collapsed.

Advantages to heavy stands:
Weight capacity
Height (sometimes)

Advantages to lighter stands:
Smaller footprint (more space to lay/work)
Height (sometimes)
