Harbor freight sells a RED Aluminim jack with some real nice non-traditional stands. The bottom of the stands is round. The adjustable top is much more flat than the widely open end conventional stands and I like this. Problem is Harbor freight doesnt sell thesee nice stands alone - you have to buy the jack and I already have that jack. So I was wondering if anyone has seen stands like this or other similar-looking stands.
Check out these, made by a company called AC Hydraulic (I've been on the fence for a set of these along with one of their floor jacks for a while now!):
AC Hydraulic jackstands (scroll down halfway or so to see the 3000NFP model; these have flat posts)
Got me the A/C Hydraulics DK13HLQ Jack and 4 of the 3000N Flat Top jack stands 6600 pound capacity each. Been using the A/C Hydraulics products for a few years now here at the house. Price is higher than store bought product however, the quality is second to none. Mark you know I would not recommend a product unless it's top quality and this is that and more. You can get the stuff from Steve at http://www.ultimategarage.com/
He's a good guy, check out the stuff he works on Bob

Yea. I've heard lots of good stuff about A/C Hydrolics. And those oones you have look pretty heavy-duty sfar as the design goes.
Amazingly I actually found the exact stands that I saw at Harbor freight elsewhere. They definitely dont look like A/C Hydrolics quality like yours in the pic. But they are TORIN and typically TORIN doesnt make junk. These Jack stands (6000 lb capacity) are more flat than the conventional stands which is what attracted me. Oh yes, well, to be honest, the RED Aluminum and polished look, which matches my Harbor freight jack racing jack also attracted me
Maybe you'll find someone here who wants the jack and not the stands.
All the best.
I thought about that beofore I found the stands at PEP BOYS. ewhere. In fact, Harbor freight is having a sidewalk sale in June and the tore manager told me they will be selling the racing Jack and stands for $165 ($199 regular price). The racing jack is a very heavy duty long jack. But I dont feel like waiting till June and like I said, I found the TORIN stands at PEP BOYS. I'll post some pics.
