I guess you shouldn't say you wanted to know what the device that goes around a hydraulic cylinder if you didn't want hydraulic cylinder safety locks.
If there isn't one on the loader from the factory , wood blocks or jack stands can work depending on the height you need the bucket at. Or if you want to make your own cylinder stop use a piece of heavy angle iron and cut it to the length you need for your desired height. You have to figure out a method to keep the angle iron from slipping out if something were to happen but that's not too terribly difficult. Either make a bracket that attaches to the loader or strap it to the cylinder.
