Orient,

I am in need of the plastic protective covers you have on your jackstands. Any leads where I can find those.

Thanks and good info posted.

Yes, I coated the ends of my jack stands with Plasti-Dip.

I bought it at Harbor Freight for about $7/can, but it is available at many places. It is the same stuff that is used to put rubber covers on tools like pliers, etc.

To apply, you just dip the tool you want coated in the stuff, and let it dry for about an hour. It is sorta like coating an ice cream cone with chocolate. The tool is dipped several times to get the thickness you desire. I highly recommend it.
