Default Car cribbing? Stationary jacks? 2x4 cubes? Wood stands?

Hello all, lately upon bopping around the internet and what are these things people are using/making to support their vehicle? I've mainly seen them kinda down south. They are 2x4's stacked opposite of each other, kinda like that Jenga game. I was unable to find a picture close up of one and searching those terms didn't seem to get what I was looking for. Is it just as simple as cutting some 2x4's in like 16" lengths , evenly spacing them, screwing it together with 2 1/2" drywall screws? Then maybe the last two don't put the 2x4 in the middle to create a cup to hold the wheel? I don't use cinder blocks, the last 15 years or so I've been using chunks of 12x6x16" long laminated beams picked up from job sites. They look pretty good, especially if I can get another 3 or 4" out of them and still be safe. Using 2x4's is typically something I wouldn't think of when supporting a car. Any thoughts, plans, better designs, etc. Thank you!
