I have the car up on a Quick Jack. On each end of the car I also have a 3 ton jack stand. The Quick Jack is lowered onto its stops. There is weight on the Quick Jack pads as well as the jack stands. When I shove the car back and forth, it seems stable.
Do you think it is safe to work under this car? I will be disassembling its motor mounts for inspection.
Thank you for your input.

Looks good to me, I wish I had quick jacks! I usually put two jack stands in the front and rear.
I think that's a safe bet, the Quick Jack stop is a safety device so should be plenty strong.
Looks ok to me too although I would say a single jackstand might be better doubled so it will teeter less... Roll a wheel/tire under it near where you will be working, if it falls on you, you may be able to get out...lol... Especially if you are going to be using force. Look good...
Agreed, two jack stands is better and I will go that route. And a wheel/tire as a safety net cannot hurt. Thanks.
Hi Steve,
My car spends most of its time on Quick Jacks. 
I have it positioned a little further inward and rearward.
Your setup is probably more stable with the jacks further apart to create a stronger base, less top heavy. I only use 1 set of spacers on the QJ, seems things can get a little wobbly if you use 2 sets.
It's a bit scary the first few times you are under it but as long as you are doing a precheck to make sure the car doesn't move you should be good.
Definitely agree with the safety jacks and something under tires.
Just for information, I have a QuickJack, but I went with the BL-5000EXT, Version A, which is longer then the smaller QuickJacks and it makes for a very stable lift. It barely fits between the wheels but it is awesome. I also bought a 2"x4"x1/4" Metal rectangular tub that I run from one QuickJack to the Other and place the rubber mounts directly under the engine mounts for the rear lift. I too was a little worried to get under the car, but now I don't worry only my wife worries. Larry
