Engine Stands for deep oil pans
Good morning, would anyone know of a set of these tow piece engine stands that will clear a deep 14qt oil pan? I don't mean width wise, I know they clear on the sides but rather leg length wise; in other words a set that the legs will touch the ground before the bottom of the pan? Thanks.

the stock pan hangs down about 1/2 inch below the bottom of the frame. Jegs sez it is flush with rail but pic sez otherwise. so you have room for 3 to 4 inches more of pan before getting close to the floor. and it looks like you can shim the casters up another 3/4 inch. so how much deeper than stock is your pan? I would also cut a piece of 2 by 4 and place it between top of rail and bottom of block where flywheel is to keep it from sagging...like the heavy duty ebay one did. I love it when I get these brilliant ideas and see everyone else had it too.

No need to get huffy, I have put my fully dressed engine carb to pan full of oil with excessories on a set and they were great just not tall enough, hence the initial question. I appreciate your input, I do; but so it goes with most forums and threads people tend to stray off course and neglect the black and white of the question.

Found them, actually from the guy I bought my outdrive jack from. Great price and stout units. Thanks for all that contributed.
