How much will the wheels/axles droop down when the frame is lifted. My frame is setting at 24" on level ground, so how high does it need to be lifted before the tires leave the ground? I am looking at jack stands to hold the trailer of the ground, but I don't know how high they must be able to sit. I like the price of the 6 ton units, but they are only 24" tall at max lift, so I am thinking about bolting/welding steel box tubing under the frame to act as a pad for the jack stands. Would 1/4" or 3/8" wall 2x4 steel tube be enough? or should I add a chunk of I-beam?
