I have a pair of these, and they've proven to be infinitely useful for the van:

The combination jack+stand also means you don't have to set up separate jack stands.



I even used them when replacing the rear leaf springs with progressive Alcans--basically lifted from the axle, used Sunex 1310 10-ton jack stands to hold the frame rails, and dropped the axle down without the wheels.



Love the plum crazy color. Slick.

Kudos on the lifting, support stands and use of wheel chocks you used in that photo!

I have used what mobile trailer haulers and builders use when they temporarily set mobiles. They are 2x4 nailed/screwed stacked together like the Jenga game. I also use 4x12 and 6x12 blocks I had from home flip projects but they dry up & crack/split over time. I don't have a pic so I drew an smsl example with only a couple stacked. Most are a foot to 1.5 tall. You can make your own with a couple 2x4x96 studs (cheaper than 8'). Make them to whatever your stationary jack stand foot print is.

Man great idea. I use to stack my 4 sets on a mobile cart.
