Home made jack stands

Have had all four up on these, works well. Found a load calculator and i believe they were rated at 4,000 lbs ea

Simple and efficient. I like it.

Nice! What is the minimum height the jacks have to be to get the wheels off the ground?

Looks like you have 5 2x4’s so 7.5 inches?

Base 1 x 2x6 + 1 x 2X4 + 1 x 2x4
legs 4 x 2x4. + 4 x 2x4
screwed together with deck screws

I had 2 on the base and the 3 on the legs, but had just put Performance springs on my long range and that 1/2 inch was just enough that i had to use 1 on the base and 4ea on the legs. I think the picture had a mixture of the two at the time, when i took the pic to post.

I was going to buy stands but they were out at the time so came up with these and im glad i did, because they seem to be way more stable, and i DONT like being under a 4000 lb car, so i know if these fail it will land on the 2x4s and i should be good.
