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!:

In the last 18 months, 2 people in the Houston area have been killed by their cars falling off jackstands. One guy was 62 years old. His wife turned into the driveway to see him crushed under his old VW Beetle. Another guy, 81 years old, yes 81, was crushed by his VW bus when it fell off the jackstands. 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.

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.
