I used standard height jack stands from HF. I think I measured 17", but you will have to get the transmission to within 6" of the floor.
I used my floor jack. I drilled some holes in the floor jack pad and bolted a square of 1/2" ply 12"x12" for the transmission to rest on and used load straps to keep it from falling off. Worked perfectly and due to the fact that there was some slack/play it made jiggling the tranny back into place fairly easy.
I don't like jack stands either but nothing budged as your not pushing hard sideways on anything during this job.
