Default Jack Stands

Read a lot of threads on the aluminum jacks and finally decided to buy one but now want to get a good set of jack stands that I can use with both my c5 and Chevy Avalanche.

Saw some aluminum jack stands at Pep Boys but wasn't sure they could take the wait of the Avalanche.

Which one jack stands do you guys like and use?

Griot's Garage sells some quality jack stands (made in America as I recall).

All of the commerical stands I have seen have a weight rating posted somewhere on the stand. The minimum I can remember is 1 1/2 ton rating, two per axle would equal 6000 lbs. More than enough an Avalanche. I put mu 1 ton crew cab dually on them all the time, go for it.

Not to worry - go with the Pep boys. Besides if they fail, think of the wonderful lawsuit your SO can file.

It's been almost 2 years but I believe they were about $20. I picked up 4 of them. I think they still have them from time to time.
