Default Jack stands

Are my 2 ton jack stands strong enough for Volvo or I need stronger? Maybe it is stupid question but better safe than sorry. I used them before but my friend thinks I should use stronger.

nah those will be fine. the TOTAL car weighs less than 4,000 lbs total. and 4,000 lbs is 2 ton. so if you have 2, 2 ton jack stands that is a total of 8,000 lbs of protection.

in English, i use 2 ton jack stands and im living.

I had my Mustang up on 4 2 ton jackstands for months while doing a motor swap and other things and it held up fine. It also went through a hurricane on the stands.
