you can buy them single as well, the ones listed above are for installing and leaving installed on vettes and will not work for our trucks except on the rear lift points. I bought mine from Ebay as well and it Works!:

Used it today to put on the OEM's for the winter, also removed the MPG covers as a precaution for snow and ice build up. Ugh its so plain now!

Likely they were tugging on a nut or a bolt and got the vehicle rocking. When I turned 60 (a while back) I made a promise to my wife that I would no longer go up on a roof or under a car. Moral of the story? Be real careful.

Pull off your wheels and slide them under each corner. Then, if the jack stands fail, it falls on your tires and gives you a damn good scare but at least you're still breathing.

That may work!

Im trying to think when I had all four off of the ground, but I know when I did, it was on a level surface and I always shove the car/truck as hard as I can after it is on the jack stands to make sure it's secure. Other wise it is just two at a time and the wheels are chocked and again I shove the vehicle to see if there is any movement before I get underneath or in harms way.
