I use short sections of railroad timbers for extra jack stands. I call them my hillbilly jack stands! They can’t collapse and can be cribbed upward.

 

None taken - as I hash tagged, I did want to die from my own hubris or igorance. @squirrel seems to be a very handy person to know

 

Cribbing, concrete not cinder, jibbidah, jabbadah, ya dee doo dah.

Your only car? Never EVER gonna do anything else (yeah right, sign here)? Go buy 2 tall/truck stands and rest easy knowing you're set for life. What's it gonna cost, 75 for a pair? How long to stack n screw wood blocks? You sure the wood won't split when you screw or nail? Tall stands. The end. I bought mine 30 years ago. Dunno what I'd do without.

My opinion though, you do you.

 

The railroad shops support locomotives on wood cribbing. I nearly got killed when I was 14, probably a week or two after I got my '38 Ford pickup. I had it up on concrete blocks. I had just been working underneath it. It came crashing down seconds after I crawled out from under it.
