Nothing wrong with using jack stands if it gives you a warm and fuzzy.... The manual actually advises the use of jack stands but I feel that it's probably a liability thing with them. I actually had a slightly different take on it- Use an obstruction lN the jack stand.. that is, use a block of wood as an obstruction. Just place it on the floor rail portion of the jack so that it is between the lower framerails and the movable upper rails that support the car. It can't come down as long as there is a block of wood or even a jack stand in there. In other words, instead of using jack stands under the car itself just use them as an obstruction inside the quickjack. You'd only need one in each side.
