Get these jack stands if you don't have them...

SEVENTY EIGHT DOLLARS EACH!!!!!!! I don't think so.

 

Expensive yes...but zero risk of chassis damage. Apealing...

 

$10 bucks cheaper here !!!

Nice stands, I might try to track down a set.

 

My 308 has tubes, so the semi-v-shaped arm extension of my jack stands fit into the lower portion of the tube perfectly and there is absolutly no chance of slippage. These do look good for the Jaguar where jacking points and jack stand points are more limited.

 

Someone is making a killing on those! From the welds it looks like they are made in china, probably for about $4 each.

I like the pads on top, but hate the pin lock. The ratchet-style ones are way easier to lift and have more height options for my sloped floor.

 

I have a nice ratchet-type set from Griot's, still feel vulnerable and claustrophobic under there.

My piggybank pennies will get spent on a car lift.

 

I use leather straps from an old cut up jacket between my stands and the car. They are consumable.

The design of the jack stand feet is also appealing. They look less likely to teater?

 

They look nice. Better than the ones I have.

I think we have found the solution, this also won't scratch the frame, but I'd put a soft cloth between just to be sure.

 

I keep all sizes out back behind the garage

Now that is a handy post. I should have thought to look but sometimes it just takes a little kick to get the brain engaged.

 

In all seriousness, instead of spending $18 bucks for a jack pad, use a hockey puck like half the Ferrari Techs in authorized shops.

 

And all these years it seemed to work just fine the way it was....

 

I have been using the pads for 15 years on my last made in America Lincoln stands. I feel safe under them!

You mean you did not feel safe without the pads? Are jack stands really that unreliable? If the jack stand is going to fail, the pads won't safe you.

 

I meant the Lincoln USA stands, the pads are appreciated by my frame!
