Seems to me he didn’t have the funding needed to launch. Supply has been an issue for four years.

The Rennstands are nice in that the height is adjustable from 11 to 16 inches.

FWIW on the Rennstand web site it states.....

Question becomes what pad type given the rocker panels or side skirts.
A puck or jack pad fits into the Camaro’s rocker opening. I’d be inclined to think this one with a puck on top. The known to prevent the puck from accidentally kicking out. Looks like these stands are sold out too.

Looks like a great idea. Seems crazy no one else has “modified” the design and stole the idea after this has been sitting for so long?

How did I never see these before? On sale for $225 each
I've gone through gymnastics to get the car up on the tires to drop the transmission or do other work underneath, or to work on the side skirts. I'm going to burn my wood block stands and four of get these. https://www.etamfg.com/

While these types of jackstands look great - I don't have the kind of money you guys have. The Rennstands are $179.00 each and the My Lift Stands are $225.00 each! Wow - so if I want all four wheels in the air I have to spend over $700.00! I think I'll just keep using my 3 ton jack stands I bought at Advanced Auto for $30.00 a pair ($60.00 for four).

I've always justified the purchase of tools by doing the work myself. Changing one clutch myself pays for these stands. Plus ...I get to buy the best material. Last year, I bought a nice tile saw and all the tiling tools for $1,000 because I didn't pay a professional $4,000 to set the tiles.
