    I've got to say that in my mind that is an extremely dangerous practice. I'd rather see you make a slider that spans between the two tracks you drive on to, and use a bottle jack on that with regular jack stands on the ends, or from the slider. Or the type that 35Window and Ryan posted, with the threaded lift.

    Best of luck to you in your quest for stands.
