Default Jack Stands -- Best of best?

Can anyone point me to great jack stands? I saw a website a while ago with stainless stands with ratchets and pin back-ups, but can't find it. I am looking for something better (stronger/safer/better built/better designed) than ratcheting arm types sold at sears and national autoparts placed.

Tom,

My recommendation would be the AC Hydraulics stands (available at http://www.ultimategarage.com/acjacks.html). I have a set for home and a set in the race trailer - couldn't be happier.

Cheers,

Rick

Kevin,
The order info is at http://www.ultimategarage.com/order.html - you can contact Steve at either ultimategarage@optonline.net or 201-262-0412. He's a great guy and I know you'll find him to be very helpful.
Rick
