Thank you Jerry! (and other replies)
Yes, I did see 3” floor jacks at Lowe’s which might be an option for around $50. Heaven knows what I’ll cut them with; my mounting location can’t accommodate the full length that they came in.
If nothing else turns up, perhaps I can find a shorter length which will not require cutting and should be cheaper, too.

Floor jacks used to be about 3 inch too. Used to keep old wood floors from sagging.
