I have been using a pressure treated 33 inch 4 X 4 post to raise the front of my C-3 for many years. I hand picked the post with tight grain characteristics for strength, but saw this jack accessory and had to have it. It can be found under Summit PN# SUM-918008 @ $42.95, in case anyone is interested in purchasing. BTW...Summit calls it a 2 ton Cross Beam Adapter. The idea of steel gives me more peace of mind and it is adjustable to accommodate most any vehicle. I just thought to share the item, in case anyone was interested.

It came with a metric M10 bolt with a washer and shim, but was too inconvenient to place the bolt every time I wanted to use it. Instead, I bought a 2.5 inch M-10 shoulder bolt and after making tight, I cut off the hex head and drilled for a hitch pin. This is only for keeping it from falling off the jack cup while rolling under the control arms. If you look closely, you will see that I have painted a silver line to mark where the extension arms are perfect for fitting my car and a balance point. Different colors can be used to mark different vehicles.
