This thread is from 2012

That said, I wouldn't be afraid of leveling the jackstands to work on an incline. Throw a 1x4 or 2x4 under one side of the jackstand to level it.

14 year old thread or not, I've never had the urge to jack up a car in the angled part of our driveway.

And that house must have some big chunk hidden behind it to be 5,000 Sq feet.

Really depends on:
how much slope,
how wide the base of the stands are!
and how high you jack it up

if you were to take some 1/4” plate, 18x18 and weld to the bottom of the jack stands.
then you won’t indent the driveway and you will have a wider/more stable base

the other option, depending on the work you are doing. The whole vehicle does not need to be in the garage. Only the placement of the jack stands need to be in the garage.
