Kind of a loaded question because of the nuances... Definitely get yourself a set of magnetic jack pucks if you haven't already. Megawatt or jackpucks.com. If you are doing 5-tire rotation (with a fullsize spare) you can get away with having just one jack and no jack stands. If rotating just 4 tires, it's a little more nuanced—two good jacks or one + jack stand. The jack stand Rivian SC uses can be used with a single jack (roll it away once lifted and stand is secured). But it is very expensive for a jack stand. If you don't use this stand, but a quality one, with a flat non-slip saddle that could be used with jack pucks (like ones by ESCO), you'll have to lift from below the lower suspension arm, where shock assembly joins it (know what you're doing and be careful about it). Place a sturdy, non-slip, non-marring pad between jack and suspension arm. If you want a floor jack that you could also use on dirt, big wheeled 3-ton ones from Pro-Eagle, Harbor Freight or Cat. All three brands also have small-wheeled garage/shop versions. If you want something less expensive and much more portable, a 6-ton or greater bottle jack (which usually have about 17" of max lift height), plus jack pad (for stability and additional height, because 17" of lift is not enough and the rear has more droop, so something like 21"+ is needed). You can also get saddle extensions to gain additional height (see safejacks.com). Be regardless of pad or extension for height, jack pad should be mandatory for stability (especially if you ever need to jack up on dirt, to keep jack from sinking too far). Safejacks.com is on the pricey side, but lots of good stuff and info there. They even have bottle jack bundles that are packaged in mil-surplus ammo cans. Tons of options for jack pads. You have ones for leveling RVs. You have ones targeting the off-road crowd by ARB and other traction board makers, from inexpensive to somewhat expensive (some are also traction boards).
