I literally finished up a lift kit install on Monday that had the Jeep up on jack stands for about 3 days with me crawling around underneath for the majority of that. What do I see yesterday? This recall... I check my stands and sure enough, they are in the recall...kinda makes you sick to your stomach. Think I’ll spend a little extra and get the double-lock stands mentioned earlier...

I have these jack stands as well. I need to track down some US made stands. Maybe Milwaukee hydraulic?
If you find options, please share!

I might do the norco pin type. Like $450 but maybe I’ll feel better? Been using the death traps for 4 years and likely a few hundred hours of use.

Love seeing a push to made in the USA. After all this chaos started my wife and I have been using the ABC rule. Anywhere But China. Post pandemic it has become more clear than ever...Buy American if you can afford it. Buy ABC if you cannot.

Yeah, I have the recalled jack stands, too.
Adding to to-do-list:
- Find a HF.
- Get some new jack stands. (Thanks for the pointers, everyone!)

When did you guys buy these? I have a set of both 6-ton and 3-ton Pittsburg jackstands, but my product numbers start with a 62. I got these in early 2018, have used them countless times, and haven't had a problem with them at all.

Thanks for posting...... looks like I have to make a trip to HF. I’m also thankful that these are to short to use on my rig now that I’m on a 3.5” lift and 37s. Haven’t used them in about 6 months........:whew:

If anyone finds " Made in the USA" ,with American steel, please share. Beware " Assembled in USA", A lot of companies that you thought were " made in USA" are actually " made in China " with the USA label.
If you are willing to pay $700+ for a pair, I think Gray Manufacturing model 10-TF meets the criteria.
