A fella here expressed interest in my "boxes" which I use in lieu of jackstands.

Why?

At roughly 500lbs per box, that is really not that bad.
Just move it slowly.

I built a metal setup that is tied together and I find it annoying to work on the middle of the car with the bars in the way....

JP's design is also good to sit on and drink when your done.
