Well, I kinda replaced all my stuff with Harbor Freight products.

I have their Daytona 3 ton, 6 ton and 12 ton jackstands.

I have the Daytona long reach low profile 3 ton jack, a pittsburgh aluminum racing jack, and the Badland Offroad jack.

The Daytona stuff is quite nice.

+1 for the Badland Offroad jack. This jack even fits under the front my Crosstrek. I'm hoping to purchase the Daytona super duty jack this year as well for an alternative.

Sorry, my jack stands are old Amazon purchases and I can't even remember what they are... again, I'd go with Daytona stands if I had to re-do my setup.

Got a pair of 3 ton stands, blackjack brand. They’re about 10 years old so, they work well 🤣

use a combination of bottle jacks and floor jacks, don’t really have a brand preference. Haven’t had one leave any bad impressions.

I have:
2 pairs of Daytona 3 ton stands
2 pairs of Daytona 6 ton stands
Daytona 3 Ton Low Pro Long Reach
Pro Eagle 3 Ton

Would recommend any of them although the Badlands Offroad Jack is a much better value

I will admit not a true jack stand but you can drill a hole though the post and use a pin for more strength.

Whatever you decide to get in jack stands, I HIGHLY recommend you get stands with a locking pin.
Having a jack stand fail due to no locking pin can be EXTREMELY painful or deadly.

With that said, I have Dayton 12 ton and 6 ton.
I have an old Craftsman 3 ton floor jack that is still functioning safely, but have my eye on the BadLand.

I also have the Daytona long reach low profile 3 ton jack from Harbor Freight. It's been heavily used for the last 3.5 years and still going strong. My last jack was a Craftsman, much more expensive but started leaking fluid after a few years.

The Badland Offroad jack and US Jack 6 ton stands are what I decided on. I went with these stands after a cheaper 3 ton lost a tooth and scared the heck out of me. These stands are stout and the wider base is extremely stable. The Badlands jack is a couple of years old and been used many times. No problems whatsoever with either

These are the best floor jacks for the money. I've had one for a few years now and everyone I know who still wrenches has turned to these in their shops. Just be sure to wait for a coupon or sale.

I use Big Red for my jackstands, I have a set of 2-ton and a set of 3-ton. For jacks I have an old Harbor Freight jack that still does okay and a newer Badlands off road jack.

I had a junk Craftsman jack that only lasted about a year.
