Your first link is to a bumper jack. It's for old cars with seriously sturdy bumpers that project from the bodywork or for off roaders to get their vehicles out of deep holes. It's not for jacking up normal modern cars.
Instead you want what is called a floor jack. Your car has jacking points underneath (outlined in the owner's manual) that are safe for you to lift the car without damaging the chassis. Given the vehicle in your flair, you'd probably want to get the 2.5 ton and higher capacity. Just keep in mind that you'll only be lifting one end or one side at a time, so in theory you're only lifting half of the car at one time. Aluminum jacks are less work to manouver, but more expensive. Steel jacks can be very heavy.
The second item you you linked to are jack stands. You place those under the car after having jacked up the car to the desired height. Then let off the floor jack and let the car rest of the stands. That's the safest way to do things as the seals in the jack can eventually fail.
You usually only need two jack stands since you'll only be working on one end or side of the car.
Be sure to use some kind of wheel chock so the car can't roll forwards or back.
