    naww, i've been using that same floor jack since i was about 5 (still have the original manual for it too) and the 3 ton jack stand was snug up to the frame [and has a large safety pin]....if for some reason the floor jack did drop then the car would only go down until the tire touched and the suspension bottomed out on the one side...and the large feet on the jack stand keeps it from turning over.

    We're saving up for a mid-level lift, only goes up about 39" but will be alot more convenient. Gonna cut the concrete and repour it to make it fit flush with the top of the floor...throw a mat over it and never know it's there.
