Build 'em. I used some receiver tube I had laying around and some 13x13" 5/16 plate for the bases. Thay are beefy as hell but I only had maybe $40 in materials and the truck won't fall on my head

Here's what my neighbor down the street uses:redneck: Cracked concrete blocks and log chunks...can't get much worse.

X2 use old rotors for bases.

I just welded a set to some 15 inch steel wheels, like an hour ago, to work on the fj40.
they were 3 ton, so total height still doesn't get to 3 feet, but you get the idea.
Just an idea.

I went to harborfreight and the biggest they had where the 6 ton. Maybe the 12 ton are internet only.

They carry the 12 ton ones at the HF nearby your house, but they don't stay in stock too long. I have a pair that my buddy gave me when he got them on sale for $45 a pair.

There was a guy at the White Knuckle 4x4 swap meet with 3 differant size jack stands. 1 size had 2' max next had 3' max and other size had 4' max.

I believe its 421 on here that might know more.

Thanks for all the info. I'll check out some of the options you guys posted up.

If you get the ones from crazy daze mark let me know I can pick up and deliver if I get a dispatch your way. cory is a friend. I have two that arent adjustable you can have. They are strong, 1in plate bases.

Grommit327 · Nov 16, 2007

This is the only pic I could find of the ones I built. Only thing I would like on them is handles to move them around easier cuz they are heavy SOB's

I have a set like these. I picked up mine from the SK guy but I know Napa can get them as well.

big jackstands

I have 4 custom made jackstands. 34"- 54" really heavy duty and well built. The bases are lazer cut 1/4" plate 34" diameter, they are also powdercoated black, and the tops swivel. I would sell them for $400 per pair, or maybe if you only needed them for a project, I could rent them to you. Call me at 253-314-6507 Corey.
