Luke,
At over $300 each, those seem pretty expensive. I’m looking for ideas too because I just purchased a 360. There’s an arrangement listed in the “Tools & Jacks” section of http://www.lancaironline.net/maillist.html that seems to be somewhat popular so I’m looking into having one made up by a machine/welding shop. However, I expect this to be a little pricey too so I’m considering a way to cut the pieces to size myself and then bolting it together. I’ve heard there are jacks available at Harbor Freight that will work too. Short of spending a bunch of $$ on aircraft jacks, it seems most alternatives will require some level of additional fabrication.

Has anyone used these jacks from aircraft spruce.

I have a 360 and need 22" from the jack points to the floor, without having to put the plane up on blocks to get the jacks under it. These jacks say they are 21" tall and might work. It says they have a centering cap, but I don't know how it would work with my jackpoints. They are pricy especially including shipping, so it's a bit of a gamble. I am not a welder and finding a fabrication shop down here is pretty tough. Any experience or advise would be great.
