Under-lift Stand Question

[bagsanthony]

A thought just occurred to me. Often times, I'll have a large truck on the lift at a lower height working in the wheel-well doing brake and suspension work. I'm in Western, NY and I am not shy with breaking out a sledgehammer bashing the **** out of rusted parts. It would be nice (especially on larger trucks) to have a way to stabilize the rear of vehicles when you're torquing and bashing. My standard under lift stands are too tall for this application. I know they make shorter ones (for guys with lower lifts like the Maxjax). Just wanted to see what you guys were using in this type of case? thanks!

I have some 10ton stands that extend to 28 inches that I'll use if I need or want a little extra stability.

I didn't see this and just posted a similar thread looking for some screw type adjustable stands for working on cars on jack stands. Somewhere in the range of 12-24" or 15-30". Jack stands work decent but a screw adjuster just like on the taller stands for under a hoist would be nice.

Anybody who has welded pipe knows about these pipe jacks:


I don’t know about specific capacity, but I have seen pairs of the Rigids shouldering several tons of pipe. I have seen them with and without rollers, and usually 2 to 3 foot tall.
