a few interesting options for jacking up your car

[Dakota]

Through the mysterious methods of YouTube, I was recently presented with a "you may like this..." clip that I did actually find to be interesting.

I'm curious if anyone has experience with this Rennstand by Safe Jack.   When lifting up the front end of my Challenger, I have definitely had my fill of moving back and forth between a floor jack lifting on the subframe connector and then finding a good spot for a jackstand around the front suspension or K-member.  If you scan through the comments on the YouTube clip below, there are several people voicing concerns about whether the welds and/or pins are strong enough to fully support the vehicle as advertised.   These comments aside, this looks pretty slick.   They are apparently back-ordered right now so don't get too excited about buying one right away.

Here was another one (Jackpoint Jack Stands) with a similar approach except that there's less flexibility on height

None of this stuff is cheap.

Interesting. The first design seems to put a lot of bending stress on the welds of the angle pieces but height is adjustable. The second one is not height adjustable but seems to be more sturdy. It could benefit from a locking mechanism at the open end after the jack is withdrawn so the stand don't come apart easy under load.

The new Challenger has additional jack points design when car is placed on a lift  and jackstands can then be placed at the normal pinch weld jackpoints. It is more cumbersome if you don't have a lift and floor jack will not work. I have been using scissor jacks to lift the car up then place it on jackstands. Not a whole lot of room to do that. So the twos in the videos are definitely more convenient.

I like this design:

Bottle jacks are too tall to get under the car to start jacking. May be ok with SUVs or trucks.

The jack points are pretty slick.
I do like the idea of the rennstands, but they look less stable than the jackpoint jackstand.
The powerbuilt jack stand looks pretty cool for a truck. Seems practical.

Thanks!  Since the HF jackstand recall, I've been considering safer options.  Here are some others that I have my eye on.

I have been using slotted rubber pucks for pinch weld lifts on newer cars, and like them.  They aren't brand specific.

If the Simpsons have taught me anything, you can hold up a car with a wicker basket.

I just discovered the Hydraulic Press Channel featuring jack stand destruction.  Bart Simpson approved.

That was awesome!

The Jackpoint seems limited since it isn't height adjustable unless you stack pads, and it almost seems too narrow to fit all floorjacks.

I know it is definitely not in the same category, but I have been pretty happy with the Quickjack system since I don't have enough height for a full 2 or 4 post lift.
