Stop the shaking!

Well right there is IMO your WHOLE PROBLEM ... one we are not talking about "Scissors Jacks" which your above post is referring to so all your discussion is not germane to our posts and are only confusing the issue. Just so we are absolutely clear here below is a pic of what we are talking about and what the link Lawrosa provided in his first post in this thread clearly showed which now appears you failed to look at. Some call them "screw-jack stands" or "aluminum jackstands/staking jackstands" etc.

Yep...your correct and my bad.
I was thinking aluminum jack stands and said scissor jacks. I'm currently participating in another web thread about scissor jacks/screw jack and bal type stabilizer system for a large LEQ unit.
However as I mentioned in my reply above the aluminum screw jack stands never did become stable at any point regardless of weight.
Your system simply didn't work for my unit.

Your assumption of what I did or didn't read is not correct either.

Well it's really hard to tell from your confusing which stands/supports are what and I'm 100% sure that there is no way to get the support that is needed to properly use these aluminum Jack stands by tightening them by hand. I tried and even used a short 2' pipe on that 6" tighening bar on the screw and could not get the upward lift/pressure to make them effective so you as I previously stated did something different than what Lawrosa and I have described so it does not surprise me that your attempt to effectively use these failed. Also I don't remember you specifying exactly where you put these al. jack stands in your failed attempt to use them and this is also a critical part since the further away from the axles the more leverage from the frame you can put in the side to side forces so this is another unknown potential problem in your attempt to use these jackstand in the most effective manner.
