It can be dangerous to have a vehicle on 2 or 4 jack stands. It
totally depends on how and where you place the jack stands. You must have
sufficient weight on each jack so the vehicle does not rock. You must also
have good jack stands. I have 4 that are rated at 5000 lbs each. I will
not even consider some of the sheet metal jack stands I have seen on the
market.
Yes I have had the Tiger up on 4 jack stands. You simply have to be
safety conscious when you do this. I also keep my 2 3/4 ton floor jack
raised to a lifting point, just in case something slips.

Subject: Tiger All Four Wheels Up?
Maybe I've led a really sheltered life, but I have only ever had a car on
jackstands one axle at a time (either front of the car or the rear). I
think I read somewhere that you should not put both axles on stands at the
same time. Is this true? Is this dangerous? Has anyone ever had a Tiger
on four jackstands at the same time? Is that safe? If this is possible,
what's the best way to do it? Just curious. Thanks.
