Thanks for posting BUT PLEASE do a better job of supporting your truck.
If you do any work like this on gravel you should use a good size piece of 3/4" plywood for a base.

ps those little springs are there to force the pads a little bit apart when you release teh brake pedal..
it keeps the pads from dragging on the rotor...

Second, I have to agree with the above. Please don't take this as being critical - it's meant as a constructive comment from someone who is concerned about your safety (safety is my day job so I can't help it).
I know it was meant only as a backup, but that jack stand is way too lightweight for a super duty. It looks to be a two or three ton? Trust me, a super duty can bend a three ton jack stand (yes, I foolishly tried it once). Even worse, if used as a safety device and the the jack were to fail dopping from any height onto that stand, it would likely crush like a beer can. At minimum you need a 6 ton jack stand for our size trucks.

I am curious how you arrived at 6 ton jack figure . Would you mind sharing your engineering calculations with us ?

BTW, the newer Super Dutys are a bit different on the brakes, but close. Good job.

[quote=rickf92592;9255315]I think you'll find that most jack stands (in the fine print) are rated per pair.

I just checked my 3 ton jackstands made by Torin . There is no reference anywhere about being rated as pair . Each of my jackstands are clearly labeled as being 3 ton (6000 lbs.) . There is also a claim on the label as confirming to ASME standards . You must have different type of jackstands.

Whatever.
"Jack stands are rated per pair, as defined by the ANSI standard for Portable Automotive Lifting Devices. If you need verification, check the standard or contact the committee."
Answer me this, would you put the weight of an entire F150 on one of those jackstands?
With your kids underneath?
(Wait, maybe we'd better not answer that last one.)
