Custom made Jack stand supports
Inspired from the OEM jack. I cut 2-1/4" long pieces from a 2x1 1/8" thick tube. Then cut a 3/8" groove and welded them to a set of 2 ton jacks.
The goal here is to prevent damage to the pinch weld and underbody. Et voila: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Have you ever damaged a pinch weld in the past? I have NEVER had any issues just using the jack stands as is..

No. Just read about people damaging them in posts using conventional stands.
