suggestions out there?
I have four of these. 52" jack stands. 2500 lb rating. Four will run $309 so they are reasonably affordable. They work great. I use a block of 2x4 wood between the jackstand and the car if I am lifting directly.

Amazon Ridgid 58 Inch Jackstand

If you want something more stout: 46" jack stands. 10 ton rating. Two sets will run $400. Still reasonably priced.

Amazon Sunex 46 Inch Jackstand
