Rennstand for Rivian?

[atebit]

Has anyone heard anything recently about Rennstand supposedly designing a taller version for Rivians? It has to be a year since I’ve heard anything about this. I also notice pretty much every item in their shop is labeled “Out of Stock”, not sure what THAT portends.

Why would it be different from any jack stand for any other truck or Jeep?

For the cost you could buy a second floor jack and still have $ leftover. It sounds like the redesign is done. They are just slow to make them: https://s00n.rivianstories.com/posts/official-rivian-jack-stand?utm_source=manual

Teh heights.

 

[SwampNut]

So you believe that no other truck or Jeep is the height of a Rivian?

@atebit
I was considering buying a couple of these. When I called the 833 number the person told me that anyone can set up an account and purchase the items.

For anyone stumbling on this later, anyone can order from the rivianservicetools site, and the jackstand is available but I think the Rennstand folks are backed up. The rennstand website shows everything out of stock and they dont answer emails....Rivian Service Tools (run by snapon) took 3 months to get me one...ordered in March, just got it yesterday. I called snapon and they were on backorder. I get the sense Rennstand has just stopped doing direct to consumer and are trying to fulfill large orders from folks like snapon right now.

Also the price has gone up $100 since I ordered in March, whoa!

I have four standard Rennstands that I bought a long time ago. I know they are not the higher "Rivian-official" ones.

1) Does anyone know if these jack adapters work with the original Rennstands

2) Does anyone have experience using the original Rennstands? Are they really too low?

I would also love to know the answer to both of these. I have the original rennstands and have lifted our model x with it. Was hoping I could just purchase the adapters and not have to get the newer/higher stands themselves if the ones I have are high “enough.”

When I was looking at the the Rennstands over a year ago, I emailed the company if the stands themselves would work with my R1S. They said no, but that was when there were few Rivians out there. I would check with them again.

The jack adapters are to lift an EDV (Rivian Delivery vehicle.) The Rivian stands have built in pucks/adaptors to lift the R1.

Thanks. I think I understand. So at this time there is no adapter for the older/shorter/original rennstands for R1 vehicles? That would be a bummer.

I dont have the Rennstands, but you can see how they actually adapt the base stand to the rivian jack puck.

You can look at the size of the rivian stand:
Minimum height 11.5 inches
Maximum height 16.5 inches

You can look at the rivian height range:
Tire change (kneel) mode: 10"
Max ground clearance: 14.9"

It looks like the height of the stock Rennstands works with the height combinations of jacking the car. I dont know how high the car ends up being when you would want to have the extension legs installed. One could imagine you still have the height of the jackpucks that have to be in there, and that would add to the max height 16.5" + ~2" of the pucks (which are alleged to be "stackable").

The Rivian service manual says something like you need to get to a height of 23" in, but really your stand would just be another jack puck in the stacked height on top of a jack.

The Rennstand adapters have a 0.5" diameter post at the bottom of adapters that are 0.8" long, so it is possible that you could get an adapter machined from a machine shop that is the regular Rivian jack puck at the top, but has a 0.5" diameter post at the bottom of adapters that are 0.8" long. You might be able to contact 1EV and Jackpucks.com and see if they would make one. With that piece, you could probably use your Rennstands...

I am interested in this because I want to just buy the regular Rennstands and have an adapter on the top, and not shell out 513$

Look on eBay for the Tesla Rennstands/Safe Jack, it's not the taller version that is on the rivian part site, but it can be procured for $150/jack and with the jack puck, it'll get your wheels about 5 inches off the group. I got some steel washers that had an inner diameter that fit the Tesla adapter's post and use friction between the adapter and the jack puck (like would be done with my regular jack).
