I have some old jack stands that I can't find any informed on. They are 19" tall when fully extended. 12" tall when collapsed. They only have 2 identification marks. The numbers CS266 and CS2.65. There is also a "W" stamp. I am going to guess that they came with an old vehicle as an accessory...

So far I have lifted a 2008 Ram 1500 regular cab long bed, 2017 Chrysler 300, and my 2000 1500 Silverado. I have my width at the 135" from back of mounting plate to back of mounting plate. I can't imagine going any narrower for the 3 vehicles I have lited. Getting out of the drivers door...

Knowing what happened with mine. I would just remove the casters and put RTV on the screws. The RTV is going to work better in a oil free hole. Good luck

I will try and get more pictures up in the coming days. I want to point out one item with poor quality control. I bought on of the Ranger brand (owned by Bendpak) underhoist drain pans with my lift. A few days ago I did my first oil change. The next day I went to the barn, I found that the oil...

I am at day 9 on my concrete. Got home from work a few hours early and put together my pump and flow divider valve mount. Everything worked out great. My $35 Amazon 4' hose was the perfect length to go from the left side down to the bottom of this column. I coupled the 2 maxjax hoses to run...

Yes. Each plate has 3 patterns, for different widths.

6000 psi concrete has been poured. Now the wait.

I am in the installation phase and haven't tested the lift yet. My concrete footers get poured on Monday. Have you tried bleeding the air?

I noticed that your lift has the auto locks. The original maxjax had a bar that was used as a height lock. There have been several posts in the past of those units having the pump located on the back. I was just pointing out how the newer units required a unique approach to not hinder the...

Looks like I am posting at the right time with the current topic of mounting the pump to the column. My concrete IS being poured on Monday so decides to tackle the mount tonight. Mine was designed in my head. I didn't add any holes, just used the 2 holes that were already in the top of the...

Don't lift 7k lbs on a 6k lb rated lift. I am going to make a big assumption and say they are the same. The assumption is that the M6K did so well on the ALI testing that they decided to change the rating to 7k lbs to appeal to more customers. Rating them for 7k lbs would mean they would have...

My cylinder has a OD of about 2.367" Not necessarily the same bore but I doubt they could be much different if the OD of the cylinder is the same. Everything is looking the same. It is possible that the carriage has larger pins for the uhmw plastic slides. Or maybe the pins are spaced further...

Here is the 2010 baseplate. You can see in the notes how the plate changed the same year slightly early on to the current size. My plate is 16mm (or 5/8") thick.

I measured everything you took a picture of and everything is the same on mine. My columns are .228" thick. Is that the same on yours?

Alan, Glad you spell your name correctly. Lol. I just got the M7k on Monday. The bolt pattern for the base hasn't changes since 2010. The first few months of production in 2010 has a slightly smaller bolt pattern. They changed it mid year then never changed it again. They moved the base plate...
