I built this one real quick just to get the job done.
The HF pos bent on the first ball joint. >:(

I have a sketch of how I will build the "good" one.

Basically telescoping sides.    1.5" X .25 wall inside 2" X .25 wall outer  with through holes for bolts to set the over all length.
2.5" X 2"  I beam top and bottom.     captured top to hold the jack in place while you load the cups on the ball joint.  EZ  :)

and yes even 6 ton jack is too small.   I stalled mine.   :o

I think a 12 ton with a screw top would be perfect.    Maybe even air/hydraulic...
