Thoughts on what jack stands I can go buy before I start that are high quality but won't completely destroy my wallet?
I think jackstands are jackstands. You're not even remotely close to approaching the weight capacity, so I couldn't even really cite safety as a factor.

I use the Harbor Freight ones and they work fine. Don't forget to block the tires if you're going to be pushing and pulling. I usually leave the jack under there as a backup if it can be done without it getting in the way.
