I ended up with the quickjack which gets you pretty good height, and I can push them together and just drive over them during 99% of the time that they aren't in use which might work for thunderguts. The quickjack I think on some sale was literally like 1K for me.. which I just justified in my mind that my biggest jack was failing/leaking.. and some of the cars didn't have great lift points so I had to jack up each corner to put on jack stands. Either way it was a good splurge that has paid off multiple times. Heck, I get free beers/lunch/gifts for friends and family that use it to change winter tires over to summer and vice versa ! |
For sure! Totally understandable. I debated those, but didn't want to spend the cash unless I got significant lifting room (not be on my back). I pulled the trigger on the MaxJax when it was on sale for $1675 shipped with residential delivery, liftgate, and tax included. I didn't measure my concrete beforehand, just prayed when I drilled my first hole that it'd be deep enough.
I look forward to family and friends pestering me to use it, which I think will be okay as long as they bring beer
