Default Anyone have these post type AL jack stands?

They are lighter, slimmer then my ESCO Flat top jacks, will take up a lot less space in the frunk, but most importantly their min height is 3" lower then the ESCO jacks which allow me to use my AL track jack with out a 2" wood block... Cant take the AC jack to the track.


Are they nice and stable? How does the metal flat top with the little wings mate up to the car under the front jack point and the rear AL sub frame?




Thx!

I have a set of these i use with hockey pucks for track for tire swaps. I don't crawl under car with them. They are OK, but nowhere near as stable as Esso or Jackpoint. Those I trust.

2 Escos and 2 jackpoints are the best solution

Standard hokey puck or did you shape it to fit on the top of the stand? Or bolt holding puck to jack stand?

If its a std puck you just balance it on the stand and lower the car onto it?

One more point. The base on These is not very wide. Paddocks are usually crappy asphalt. The base is flat. It sits on concrete fine. It isn't great on ****ty paddocks. Like I said tire changes only :-). Esso are great for track days. More portable than jack point.

Understood... Yea but the ESCO jacks min height is too high for my jack and they also take up way too much space in the frunk.
