I never measured- but I am fairly certain I have 20" high jack stands. With patience, and an extra eye I removed my 6spd tranny AND the engine on the ground. Taking off your rear bumper cover isn't 100% necessary, but for the extra 10 mins it takes to take it off you will have SO much more room, and light.

Highly recommended.

Also be really careful jacking up the car onto 4 jack stands at that height. I used 2 jacks, 4 jack stands, and cut up 6x6's to ~14" and stood them vertically for added safety.
