Apologies, I hate typing on a phone . I'm out and about and looking at a floor jack cross beam. Can someone tell me the width of the frame rails ? I'd like to try using the jack cross beam to help raise so I can get my jack stands underneath easier. The floor jack cross beaM adjusts from 28 to 37 inches wide.

Please and thanks.

Mine is on my lift so I can easily measure. What 'width' are you needing?

Well, basically the center measurement of the main frame rails between the drivers and passenger side. If I wanted to jack up and support the van on the frame rails, what length of beam would I need ? Hope that helps.
