well im about to get my project going, and i cant seem to find jack stands tall enough to keep my body in the air while i remove the axles....any suggestions?...needs to be strong and sturdy enough to work under

Go to harbor freight and get some 6 ton jack stands, and if you are subscribed to a bunch of offroad magazines like I am than you can find a coupon to get 2 stands for $30. I own some and they are pretty nice

I agree with wiggles, they also come in motorcycle magazines too. I mean **** look on the computer for coupons OR ok you ready I just thought of this one while I was typing this , when u walk into harbor fright they should have a rack with a few pages of all of there coupons and sale items. Well that's how it is here at least lol. Good luck though

Go out to your jeep and measure from the grount to a good lifting point on the "frame" rail. For me at 4.5 with 32's its like 19 inches. Then add like 6-9 inches so its off the ground. So for me stands that are like 16"- 28" are perfect

I like those double lock jack stands. Give you more peace of mind when going under the vehicle.

I built sawhorses out of 4x4s for the Jeep.

I have some 6 ton Jack stands from Harbor Freight they were tall enough for me to roll the axles out of my buddy's YJ that is SOA and on 37's.
