Pinz Hydraulic Jack Replacement

The Weber Hydraulik jack off of my Pinz has finally given up the ghost. The local hydraulic shop did a rebuild with new seals, but it is still leaking. Now is the time to stop the money hemorrhage and get something new. However, I can't find another working used Weber anywhere.
Are there any other good jacks that work with the Pinz? I tried a Hi-Lift, but it was unstable and dangerous.
Thanks for the info.

The 6-ton or the 8-ton should work OK.

I purchased one of these from Home Depot for this specific purpose. Problem is they dont extend high enough. Where are you jacking the vehicle?

I thought the Pinz needed the beveled base on the jack so it could move as it was jacked up. If not it'll save a lot of hassle and money.

Under the rounded portion of the axle half shaft. There is a flat portion down there that looks like it would work with a normal jack, but I was reluctant to jack there. I'm finding the same problem with jacks around here: not enough height. The tallest I've found are around 17". And even with a 6x6 underneath, it would still be only be 22 1/2"

This may be a stupid question, but...
Have you tried any of the dealers for an actual Pinz jack? Perhaps you have, and they just want a fortune. I noticed Dennis posted last week that he's occassionally breaking up trucks for parts. I wondered if any of those trucks still have the jack?
