Jack Stands

[Nex]

With the influx of new members, and people doing their own work, thought we should start a jack stand thread.

What jack and jack stands are you using? Which ones are trash and you regret buying?

What are Jack stands?????



I have (2) 6 tons that I don’t remember the brand (not harbor freight recalled ones.

(2) 3 ton craftsman’s.

Buddy has some 12 tons that are really nice. I don’t use that many jack stands all the time. I live on a hill with a sloped driveway and my garage floor is also sloped, so I usually try to Jack only one corner per time, so I end up using the same Jack stand all the time.

Whoa, that's a caution. I hope you have some wheel chocks, too.

I do, my drive way is a cross slope so they really aren’t needed. I usually use them if I have the rear up in the air. Truck doesn’t have front axles right now so it rolls a little easier than normal.

Also with as much droop as I have, drop shackles, etc. it is hard to get the whole truck off the ground, even with pro eagles.

I posted this a while ago, but I am still really happy with these jack stands. It is super for rear suspension work.

My New Favorite Jackstands

I just picked up a pair of Sunex 10 Ton High jack stands for $199 shipped. I am finally able to get the wheels to fully droop to do maintenance on the suspension. Previously I used some 6 ton HF jackstands with some wood under them (yikes!) and that still didn't work very well. These jackstands...

Every time I see these stands I am brought back to this SNL skit...
