If I'm removing tires to put on brake pads, would you go one or two tires at a time?
The guy who uses a HF jack (3 tons). Of course its working properly, it has a 6000lb capacity. Did you mean 3 thousand?

Taking off all four wheels... are you suggesting supporting the car with the jack and not jack stands?! I hope not.
Use the jack in conjunction with 4 stands if you're removing all four wheels. If you're doing a side at a time... use stands. I keep rereading this post and you must be asking about NOT using stands.
That's crazy talk.
Are there (hillbillies?!) people out there that leave the car sitting on the jack and don't use stands?! Jeez, well, I'm all for it now that I think about it; I believe it's called natural selection, aka, The Darwin Awards.
