I need to rotate my tires soon, and always prefer having a jack stand under there somewhere in addition to the jack.

I could be interpreting it way off though.

Somewhere along the lines of assuming some dummy is going to be in the truck while it's lifted and then opening a door(s) would fork up the balance? Maybe traverse would be better at preventing roll in that situation? Idk.
