talk about shear overkill, you're probably more likely to hurt yourself trying to move those things around.. D'oh!

No overkill when it comes to fighting gravity.
Considering I use a two post hoist rated for 6 Tons to lift my 1500 and that same hoist also lifts a 2500 CTD easily, jack stands rated for 22 tons is overkill.
The safety factor of jack stands is at least 3:1, meaning a 3 ton stand is tested to hold 9 tons. So 6 ton jack stands can more than hold up a typical Ram truck without fear of gravity winning.
