It would help when I need a jack stand to be located where the jack is located ... pinch weld on uni-body vehicles for example. Wouldn't help so much with the 100.
Good point.
This. The regular jackstands are always in the way when I'm under my cars. Doubling that space will be rough.
Nice concept though.

Seems like one of those solutions in search of a problem to solve.
Standard jack stands are simple, and have no parts to lose.
I count at least NINE separate pieces per stand in this video...
4 bolts
2 arms
2 legs
1 Jack point.
An interesting idea... but meh... I lose enough stuff as it is.

I agree with Markuson. Interesting idea though.
I just bought a jack pad. Always disliked putting the vehicles weight on such a small sized piece of metal. (First owner of my previous ES 330 fxxxed up the front passenger side pinch weld). This distributes the weight over a larger area.

That one's for the floor jack, got one for the bottle jack too:

Also bought slip over polyurethane pads for the stands to protect the rear axle and frame rails...

Who is the person on here who made an added height attachment for our OEM jack stand

Like the concept for low vehicles but I'm pretty sure that wheel wouldn't be off the ground on most larger tired trucks.
I've been happy so far with my driveway trials of Safe Jack. It is more focused on off road use and dealing with large tires and longer travel suspensions.

Is the travel long enough to lift at the frame, i.e. allow the suspension to droop?
I'd say yes for frame jacking a stock 200 series. And you can always add more height as the system is modular. As the frame rail goes up due to to lifts and the wheel travel increases I'd think that for safety and to limit the amount of jacking you would want to strap axle to frame.
With a bottle jack you end up McGyver'ing pieces between the jack and jack stand to lift that high. And you can also move to axle jacking as soon as you get the axle up high enough to get a bottle jack under. With a high lift you might be able to do it in one shot.

Am I the only one nervous about counting on that tall, thin tube?
