The Scissor Stabilizer Jacks w/ Handle # TJSCHD-24 are typically mounted perpendicular to the beam but you can definitely still mount them inline with the beam. The only problem you might run into is trying to get it mounted to the frame since the brackets might not line up well with the flange of the beam, but you can just have them welded in place and then you won't have to worry.
