I felt I learned from and enjoyed the tests and posts.

Isn’t placing a jackstand on the axle tubes only legal in most states as a temporary step in a lift,
with the final position of the jackstand on the frame
or unibody designated lifting point?

The trick of using an upside down jackstand with a limited raise travel jack on a higher clearance vehicle would certainly be objected to by either manufacturer of the jackstand or lift jack, but in emergency situations off road is arguably better than the typical cut log of green wood.
