Telescopic stands mod

I use my telescopic stands a lot as jack stands with the inner telescopic tubes at their lowest position.

Today the need arrived for me to have 1 of them partially extended to support a small pickup But I won't ever trust a friction lock with my life.
So I decided to incorporate the design of some of my other safety stands into this one by drilling a series of holes in the tubes. Now I can extend either or both to their fullest height and pin them in place and still use the jack screw for micro adjustments of use the screw as a jack to lift the vehicle
