Re: Safety Stands On Sale! Reply #20 – December 16, 2020, 07:25:46 pm Quote from: Chuck & Jeannie – December 14, 2013, 05:20:23 pmRoger: OK, I got you now. And a good point about the jacks. However, if I was going to try to lift either axel on one of these coaches, I would be looking at one of those 20-ton combo air-hydraulic jacks with a 20" max lift height. I see them for sale around $100. Lots easier letting the air pressure do the work!As to the paint on the "safety stands", I'm hoping the powder coating is decent quality and will hold up for a while. Will just have to see how that goes...Cheers!Wait for a sale or use the discount coupon. I bought 2 20 tonf or $59/ea with the HF coupon. The are GREAT and can be used without air. too. Best to make an adapter to the frame so there is no possible way for the coach to come off the jack. Coach air works fine to raise them. Think these 20 ton air/hydraulic jacks are all made at the same factory. Excellent reviews. Watch video at:https://www.harborfreight.com/20-ton-air-over-hydraulic-jack-95553.htmlPierce Quote Selected

Those are what I was thinking of. It appears I was wrong about them being available at HF. I guess I'll go with 8 of those receiver hitch extensions Quote Selected
Re: Safety Stands On Sale! Reply #23 – December 16, 2020, 08:56:11 pm I panted my "safety blocks" aka hitch extenders a bright yellow to make them more visible: reminding me to remove them when I am finished and I can see they are in position when under the coach. Quote Selected

I could only find one store with two of these in stock. Been stopping into HF stores in our travels back to Florida, found only one in each subsequent store... Guess they are hot sellers? Have six of them now. Have a few small air leaks to fix...Should I use eight of these to support the rig or is six sufficient? Two on the front four in back???Jeff Quote Selected

Re: Safety Stands On Sale! Reply #28 – December 16, 2020, 11:18:29 pm Reply #18 – 8 months agoThis is a place I used to get my safety stands. I called via phone and requested two inch steel channel 1/4 inch thick cut into 8 separate pieces each 11 inches in length. The cost was $7.00 each. I was 45 miles from one of their locations so I picked mine up but they will ship right to you. Easy peasy and so much safer.Speedy Metals Online Industrial Metal SupplySpeedy Metals Online Industrial Metal Supply Quote Selected
