Default Who sells a wide jack stand to fit the front subframe ?

Does anyone sell a jack stand with a wide top so its fits flush with the front frame behind the tire. I think its 4"+ on the rear the side frame has a spot 3" wide and my standard jack fits flush there but just digs in at the front location.
Anyone know what I'm talking about?

I haven't had that problem because all of my Craftsman jacks fit just fine... If you can, use the front k-member or move the jack further towards the rear of the vehicle. There is a spot on the left and right side of the k-member (symmetrical) that you can place jack stands in (looks like the sheet metal is pinched/curved downwards to a V). If not you can use a piece of wood like a 2x6 to distribute the force a bit and cushion it (also prevents scratches).

Although, it'd be nice to know if somebody does indeed make huge (padded?) jack stands.

P.S. You're in AV? I'm in RSM! Never seen ya around (or maybe I have)! Come out to the meets once in a while...
