I need to work on rear springs and have about 5" of lift. Hoping to make it a little easier and safer to remove the rear axle. Rocker bars and bumpers are no longer on, so hiLift won't work.

USA 4Crawler Web Wheeler No need for that tall a stand, Harbor Freight has some around 30" tall. I use some a little shorter than that. I made a base out of criss-crossed 2x4s the sixe of the jack stand base. 2 boards across and 3 vertical: Raises them up about 3" and is plenty tall. Also helps keep the stands from sinking into my asphalt driveway. My rear axle will basically drop to the ground (w/ tires off of course) w/ 5.5" Alcan springs and longer than stock shackles. For taller stands, you could fab up your own or make a taller base for them. r.c.brown@ieee.org TruckEditor@tlca.org Project: 4Crawler 4Crawler OffRoad - 4x4Wire discount code Re: Where to find tall jack stands?
