If I didn't already have the steel I would just buy those.
Acme rod and nuts are on their way!

31" at the front of the front spring mount, 28" at the cross member and 35 at the rear shackle flip mount near the bumper.
with the ORIs at full bump on 42's, my frame is 25'' at all 4 corners from the cement floor. ride height would be 29-30''
A piece of tubing slide over the the threaded rod. Make the saddles with a short slightly larger tube welded to it so you could place them over the tube and they would be removable. That way you could use any length tube and have any length jack stand you need....Even tall enough to use under a lift.
With what I described above, no need ( Maybe just the shortest length )......Just cut tube to fit what height you need for what project you're working on.

Could you use a system like the floor levelers from the home stores? The tubes slide inside each other and have holes at different hites and allows you to set the hites where you need it. Just slip a pin through the holes that line up nearest where you want it. The bottom tube being fixed to something like a strong rim. You could make the tops in different shapes with tubes that go inside the upper tube and the upper tubes different lengths.

40" maxxis treps. Ride height.
-The lowest part of my frame is 24.750" behind the Tcase.
-The very rear of the frame at the lowest curved down section is 31.125". No spare mounted, or other junk in the back except for my tool bag.
-The front of the frame in front of the core support at the lowest point is 29.5". That's with the front clip off of it though.

I have a few of the 6 ton from HF and Tractor supply. I got a set of these cause I want to get older. I got medium Height,they gave me enough room to install 4 inch springs under a K30.

Ours use a telescoping square tube to control height. I think they're 3" and 2.5", both by .250 wall. Maybe the outer is 3/16", they never bind up but aren't wobbly. With a few different pin locations they can be adjusted every couple inches or less. Base is about 2 feet square with big pads under the feet so we can use them in the dirt too. The probably can't go lower than 30" or so but that works out great for supporting frames at the ends or sticking under bumpers.

Couldn't you build the lower sections shorter and make sets of uppers that are different lengths so that you could get lower than 30"? Isn't 30" kind of tall for certain things? I've never needed stands that tall for my personal use but, if I had them, I'd find a use for them, I'm sure.
