high jack stands

Anyone know where i can find these? They need to be at least 3 feet tall to support my frame rails. I have a 4" suspension lift on a 95f150 4x4. Any links?

Thanks fellas

Depends on what's expensive to you. $85 doesn't sound too bad to me, given the price of steel these days... And 30" maximum height is pretty tall... about the height of the desh I'm sitting at right now...

i need something taller than that cause im always doing front end work on my truck and need the frame rails lifted and supported to take the wait off the axles/suspension. My highlift jack only goes 36" and it barely takes the frame up off the ground.

I dont like working under a truck when the suspension/frame is being held up there by a maxed out jackall. Thats why im looking for tall stands.

Could a guy get these made to fit my needs and still be safe?

You know - for about $1500 you could probably have a lift installed in your driveway! That ought to give you the lift you are looking for an probably about the safest...
