Jack stands - recommendations...? (1 Viewer)

[LJRay]

...want to get under the LJ73, have jack but no stands for support locations...

...front locations are 18" and rear are 21" on 235/75R15 tires [shorties at 28.9" tall], Harbor Freight 3 ton stands top out at 16-7/8"...

...looking for suggestions, what are you/have you been using...? pictures always helpful...

I recommend 6 ton stands.

I recommend 6 ton stands.

I was just going to post these. Great stands from Harbor Freight.

I put the shorter jack stands under the springs.
I also have chunks of 8x8 lumber standing by when I need to go taller.

I use hein werner 6 ton myself. Not cheap but been happy with them. Made in the USA too. (However that doesn't mean much anymore these days.)

Timely thread; I had an old set of 6-ton Torin stands that I loved, and which vanished in our move...so now I need a new set. They were wide and tall for their capacity rating; they looked more like 10- or 12-ton stands...so they were more than enough for my larger/higher vehicles. Good welds, steel locking pins, and nice metal. I miss them. Gotta replace both them and the old floor jack.
