chassis stands
chassis stands
went to check out repco and super cheap for a set of chassis stands high enough for a Hilux and they where both useless. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get some...
Re: chassis stands
did you try some 5t ones as they are nearly twice the length of the smaller ones, this is what i use in my 105 series with 35s on and it works grate.

Re: chassis stands
Repco have a good range but some stores you have to ask as not everything is on the shelf waiting for you. They will get them in which usually only takes a day.
They are more commonly referred to as axle stands and you will want at least 3 ton or larger. I have some 6 ton ones but you need to good jack to lift vehicle high enough to utilise the full height of those ones.

Philip did you get yours from repco?
I asked the sales person in both shops and they didnt have a clue. Might try and ring tomorrow and see if i get someone in the know.

Re: chassis stands
If you asked for chassis stands they probably wouldnt know what your talking about, most people call them axle stands now.

Tires are like boobs, they always look big until you have played with them for a while, then you just want a bigger set.

Re: chassis stands
any where that sells "powerbuilt" brand tools, which is every where. will be able to get the powerbuilt 5or6 ton truck axle stands which go about 600mm high and have a wide base. tho the same ones used to be bigger 10 years ago when I got mine.. mate bought there big ones about 3 years and they were a bit smaller. Trade tool suppliers like "Total trade" "tradeZone" which I think are nationwide chains stock power built
