As far as I know you should be able to.  When jacking up a car (or in this
case, truck) you are only lifting approximately half of the weight of the
vehicle at a time.  Less than 2 tons.  Same goes for the stands.  Each stand
is only holding approximately a 1/4 of the weight of the vehicle.  I believe
if stands are rated at say 3 tons, it's usually for a pair.  What engine do
you have in that thing?  Sorry for the OT follow up question!
