Using a Floor Jack as a Transmission Jack?

I have a trans adapter for my floor jack. It does require very tall jack stands. I bought tripod scaffolding footers from industrial surplus place and welded channel iron clips on their tops. The first 4 are a little shorter, painted brown and got 4X4 channel iron clips but the frame rails didn't sit down in it well. The next 4 got 5X5 inch channel, and painted yellow. So there are now 8 stands here.
Jack doesn't lift that far so I have to get er up on the short store bought stands first, add spacer, and go again. Too much labor for this old man today.

Floor jack too short...Hard to tell exactly, but that's the hook on my cherry picker with an axle strap...20201114_154537.jpg
