Tall Jack stands needed
Anyone have a set of really tall jack stands I can borrow for a week or two? I'll need something that can support the front-most part of the frame rails at or near ride height while I get my shiny new long arm kit installed.

Re: Tall Jack stands needed
I ended up raising mine off the floor with some make shift 2x4 frames. Worked pretty well as long as no one was going to stand on the front bumper... It never felt unstable like this, but allowed me to easily roll the axle in and out as needed.

Timber stacking works great, I've done the same thing, used 4x6's

Re: Tall Jack stands needed
Kirk has my tall jack stands - they will probably work just fine for you if he is done with them. They are home built and should be plenty tall.

Re: Tall Jack stands needed
BTW - I did screw my frames together as I didn't want to chance them falling down.

I'm done with them, I've been hauling them around town in my truck for the next time we meet, plus I have the timbers in the truck. Justin come get them.

Re: Tall Jack stands needed
Thanks, let me see what this weekend holds and I'll get in touch with you. I might be off on Friday-have already logged 30+ hours this week.
