Taller than standard jack stands

[Lucid Moments]

Does anyone know of a source for taller than normal jack stands? I am not talking about under lift stands, just stands that will go up to about 24". I know most 6 ton or heavier rated stands frequently go that high, and TBH that is probably what I am going to do, but I don't need the extra capacity and would rather not deal with the extra weight that goes along with the extra capacity. So I am just checking with the hive mind in case someone knows of something like what I am looking for.

These are primarily for working under my trailer for what it is worth. Trailer weighs less than 1500 lbs, but is too wide to put on my lift. Which is occupied just at the moment anyway.

21.5" close enough? https://esco.net/products/esco-3-ton-performance-jack-stand/

Especially on a light trailer, I would have no problem using a piece of 4x4 to add 3.5" of height

That may work indeed. Of course it isn't going to help me get the wiring under it redone tonight, but maybe for the next time.

Usually called frame stands

I have 6 ton jack stands and before I had a lift used them on light cars and such, they were awesome and aren't really that bulky.

I have similar Camco stands like the Esco units shown and I've placed my 6500 lb. Camper on them with zero concerns.

I’ve got 6 ton stands and have them for the 25” height rather than the capacity. The stands do weigh more, and the bases are also wider; however, they are not tedious nor problematic to use.

I bought these 3 ton SUV stands, they don't go 24 but much higher than typical 3 ton and don't have the wide base of a 6 ton.

I own that pair. They are indeed heavy, solid stands, although I'm not very impressed with the welding on them!!

I have the taller version of these and they are well made and have been very useful. Great for holding up semi frames or when changing tires on the sprayer.

Been using these for at least the last 10 years. Honestly I find them to be perfect for my needs. Oil changes, exhaust, rear ends, etc.
