I had a welding shop make up a stand for me. they are bulky but solid. the top is the shape of a + and my normal low wing jack sits in the recess. for extra safety I use two "C" clamps to secure the jack to the stand. this makes it much more stable and the hydraulic part of the jack doesnt have to go as high. that has to be the scariest part of aircraft maintenance is working the gear while the 182 or 210 is swaying with every motion. I always thought if I was to ever build my own maintenance facility I would have a hole in the floor like the old car garages did. jack the plane up a few inches and pull the boards out from under it.  and have a tie down ring in each corner of the shop as well..

just my wishes. I can send a photo of my stands if anyone is interested. they are effective.

When our shop suddenly picked up a couple of 337's ( argh! ) we had a couple of sturdy three legged stands made up that matched the footprint of our tronair citation jacks. The tronair "feet" were matched drilled to the stands, & bolted up. super stable. Tronair makes a set of very tall jacks, to jack for example an aero commander. they also work very well on 210's & 337's. Still a dangerous, shakey job, no matter what jacks you use.
