Jack Stands That Hit the Mark

[2-Saw]

I have been searching for jack stands that dont overshoot the area it is to be lifted. The ones I use now are turnedlong ways so as to not cause damage to the underside of the car. I was thinking of grooving the contact area of the stand to fit better, but was going to check with you guys to see about other options. It does not matter if they are aluminum are not, cause my jack is:wink: .

Thanks,
Dean

lavish, modest, cheap...

There are (3) options...

i.) Cylindrical/tube jack stands w/ flat-surface for car's jack-point to rest on- expensive...

ii.) jack-stand rubber-foam pads- most online auto part distributors carry them; moderate costs...

iii.) Hockey-puck- DIY w/ or w/o hard-wood wedge for the puck to rest on; most economical and works w/ most jack-stands...

Work great if you already have a set and don't want to buy new ones.

Just be aware that the jack stands shown by Osiris at the top are not necessarily the best choice if you don't have a perfectly flat floor. The ones below them are a lot better. Because of the way the legs are open, they allow for an uneven floor surface but will still make a complete secure and stable contact points. When the cars weight is finally placed on these jacks, they would have less of a tendancy to rock, if at all, and this would give you a more stable platform for the car.

A lot of the guys here may already have these, but these are what I use...

Nice stands...and their floor jack is really nice too.

I've seen the all aluminum cylindrical stands at Costco with a very nice aluminum jack for $99. They look great but I'll go with the cheap ones on an uneven garage or driveway surface. But as they say, different strokes for different folks. :biggrin:
