Motorcycle lift entire plane
This isnt a wing jack but worked great for me when I was working on my brakes and wheel pants. It is a HF motorcycle life with a wood box. It lifts all 3 wheels off the ground if you get it balanced properly. It is not stable enough to get in the plane but plenty to work on the wheels.

Just bolted. My A&P put them on when he did the brake pads. No big deal, he tells me.

These tabs, Mac - - it is a little fuzzy when zoomed but can not firmly say if that is a sleeve or welded to the jack. Sorry, I responded to a 2021 post.

Sorry, I misunderstood that you were talking about the wing jack. I think the image you're referring to is one I had copied from a Kitplanes article. Attached are the ones that I built. The upper ring is a sleeve that slips over the jack body and has 4 tabs welded to it, each with a hole for the 4 support arms.
One caveat....the bases of those jacks are not identical dimensions, one to the other. I put tabs on the bases so I could remove the whole jack from the assembly and placed the tabs on the base on one in exactly the same place as the other, and the second jack did not quite fit....needed a little help from a ball pein hammer
