Funny, I actually ordered a set of those in my quest to find flat top jackstands. They might support your riding lawn mower. They're really for leveling corners on a travel trailer. I'd be scared to use them even for that. Sent them right back.

Looks like they are intended for travel trailer or motor home leveling. Not sure that they wouldn't also work for a car but you have to turn the screw to raise or lower it.

i'm in for a group buy on them (i need 2 sets)

I already sent off a couple of e-mails asking various companies about a group buy on these so we'll see what we can arrange.

man i know the economy is bad but is it that dad.:icon501: i bet all you have major money under the matress:) i do not mean nothing negative but i thought it was funny . no harm intended.

Great thread for a recently new owner (8 months or so) I actually jacked my cars front end up this weekend, just for the heck of it, and was also wondering how you get the car on stands. I never thought of doing it from the rear point......duh.
185 does seem high for stands, but I doubt the guy with a 964 crushing his upper half will be thinking "well at least I saved 120 bucks"
I have nice set of axle type stands but the ones pictured have a much wider base.

The group buy for these jack stands already finished.

I purchased a set the last time this was active. They are worth the money - plenty of height and less worries about safety or car damage. Also no need to fidget with wood blocks to protect the jack pad. There is a seller on eBay that sells a nice set of aluminum pucks that twist-lock into the holes in the jacking pads. Those end all risk of snagging the shark fin when you lower the jack.

So, you have tried the aluminum pucks? They seemed like a good idea and design, whether for floor jack, jack stand, or post lift. I have been looking for some feedback before purchasing a set.

I have used them. The only issue is they look like they belong in a display case. I hated to get them dirty and scratched. They install easily and stay put until you give them half a turn.
