So Gary, since you're like in the middle of the country, smack dab between Pahrump and Seiverville rallies. Which one are you going to make your debut? :D

Hi Gary. Way to go! Please post pictures. Now the fun begins.
Since we still haven't gotten the BUS yet, I kind of hate to keep second guessing what we are going to do, BUT since you asked Ray, our plans are to attend the Seiverville Rally, thanks for asking. :)Quote:

Gary the grinning has already begun, we can sense it all the way up here:)
Gary & Peggy,
OK, but does it have rivets?:p
Tom,
Remember, he asked about XL2 stands!!!
Here's the real deal....they look good and so far the bus hasn't collapsed any.
They look GREAT Jon, I only wished I could afford a set. ;)
A set is only 125 miles worth of diesel fuel. Or a few nights of generator running in a truck stop.
I was able to pickup my new Jack Stands from the A1 Jon's Casa De Grease Pit in Knoxville this past Friday and promptly slid them under the bus Friday Night. (See Photo- they are great)

But I checked on them tonight and they appear to have taken on the stainless finish - imagine that. Best Jack Stands I ever bought!!

Thanks for another great tool for the bus!:cool:
Whoa

I see that Dale says 'front first'.
Can you clarify the correct procedure to install the stands and remove the stands.
When raising the bus is it best to dump tag axle, inflate front air bags, install front stands then do the rear?
When lowering the bus is it the reverse?
Hope we have a Jack Stand class in Tn. Correction, Bus Support Stand Class.Quote:

The back is the easiest to raise since it has 6 air springs. You don't want to work against the weight of the bus when its on the back stands.
Hey Jon: I too would love to get a set of six for my Liberty XL2. i am planning to do a oil change tomorrow and can get exact height however i am sure the same height others are useing for thier XL2 will work fine. More than happy to send a check and pre-pay, and if poissble i would like mine shipped to me:
Matthew Stuller
1213 Terrace Hwy
Broussard LA 70518
337-394-5432
Thanks much, these will be much nicer than blocking them with wood.

Jon, Does mango"s measurements fit All H3, Can these jacks be used for keeping the coach up during long stays as in Fla in winter for 2=3 months. Say have coach in ride highth then slip jacks into place and let coach settle on them. When ready to move start coach go to ride highth pull out stands ? If so when ever another run is done I will take a set.
Are these still being offered?
You can find adjustable stands rated for 20+ tons at Northern Tools and similar places for about $150/pair or so. I have a set and they are heavy duty and not restricted to a single height.
Gil, are you referring to the Esco 20-ton screw jack stand #10802 for $209? A pair of these under the rear and the front would be safe to allow me to work on the airbags and shocks?
That style will work. Mine are like these:

OK I am ready to look under the bus, I was wondering if these are the correct body points to put my support stands. I have 4 of the 22 ton red and blacks from Amazon.
Front:

Rear:

Here is the dimension of the rear, i was concerned about raising the bus up above ride height, not sure if it worked or how high i could go. I could raise the front and both sides but not the drive direction.

Hi Jon, I just found this posting. Are these stands still available? I have a 1990 XL40
Any steel fabrication or welding shop should be able to make what you want for not much money. The jack points should be illustrated in the service manual.
