Be sure to check the teeth and lock saddle to make sure they have good contact/locking pattern before you buy.
I bought some and took them back, the teeth and saddle mechanism didn't have enough contact and with a little movement it would unlock and drop, glad I didn't have the jeep up very high nor the tire off yet.
I found a set of Goodyear stands, they have great a good teeth to saddle pattern and a secondary lock pin to secure it, IMO important when you have something lifted at it's maximum height.
If you have a Northern Tool nearby, they carry the tall stands and also double locking smaller stands

Those look very handy. You have any more info on them? Also what do you use to get the vehicle that high? When I did my lift I had the 6 ton HF stands and used my high lift. It worked but felt a little unsteady getting it up so high with the high lift.

How high do those stands get you up to though? Because I already have jack stands.

How high do they lift the actual jeep up though?

You can use an engine hoist to lift the jeep as high as you want. They are 10ton and can extend all the way to 45". Way over kill but i bought them for the height so i didn't have to be laying on my back all day.
I'm on 40's and the HF bottle jacks work just fine for mine.
Edit: Nevermind. Didn't realize the topic got changed to stands.
You could always go big. Just bought a pair of 12 tons at HF for $80. They are on sale. Tack on a 20% off coupon and they are $79.99. Lowest height is 19". Highest is around 30". I need to raise my jeep 4" just to get the stand under the frame.

max height is 24" but they have the security pin and IMO more side stability than the HF ones

Thanks for all input
I considered those, but they were a little on the HUGE side. Lol. Go big or go home. It looks like I went medium.
