I wanted the HD9 but just didn't have the garage length for it, so I bought the HD7 instead. Works fine for all my cars and SUV's

Well, my M3 is track prepped. So it has a rollbar, race seats, 6 point harnesses, no back seat, etc, etc. I suppose I could convert it back to a street car but I'd rather sell it as is and get a 911 instead. The 911 wouldn't be my winter vehicle, I have an SUV for that, so it'd purely be my...

I do Time Trials and track days with it. It's a fun ride but I've been debating getting rid of it in favor of a 911 that I can use on a more daily basis and put my kids in

No, the stack height of the bridge jack didn't change at all. Just that the center pad adapter kit now fits. It didn't fit at all on my old top bar

Ok, so if I back my M3 onto the lift, it clears the RBJ-4500. If I put the RBJ-4500 at the front of the lift I can pull forward onto the lift, but then can't slide the jack backwards to use it. I don't like backing onto the lift. The M3 is the narrowest of my cars, so I have the lift decks...

Called Bendpak. They sent me a new top bar and center jack pad adapter kit. They slide on properly now. So warranty replacement...

They're all rated at the same 4500lb load, it's just that the new RBJ4500 is ALI certified

So the older versions of the RJ45 sat about 4" above the lift decks. People complained to BendPak about it and BendPak was able to send these people some parts that allowed the RJ45 to sit about 2" above the lift deck. Bendpak then decided to just put those parts on *all* the RJ45's, so then...

That means you have the older RJ45. You can call Bendpak and they can send you new "weldments" and a new top bar and that'll lower your bridge jack almost 2". Unfortunately that stuff can't be used on the new RBJ4500 like I have.

I was told that when they went to the RBJ-4500, since it's now ALI certified they had to "beef" it up, that's why it sits higher. Email straight from the VP of Bendpak saying that. However, I think that's a load of ****. You know your target market, you know you've had plenty of complaints...

I'll try backing the car onto the lift and see if I clear it. PITA backing onto the lift. Not that I can use my brand new lift anyways, as its currently FUBAR'd. Waiting to hear back from BendPak on how they intend to fix it.

Got the car home and tried to get it onto the lift over the bridge jack. That's a negative Ghost Rider. Didn't clear it. Right now I have the bridge jack pushed to the front of the lift so I don't have to drive over it. However, that means having to drive the car onto 2x12's in order to get...

They're coming out tomorrow to adjust everything...

Yeah, I'll call them tomorrow and get them to come out.

Just discovered it this afternoon, install company is closed until Monday. I've already sent them an email and will call them Monday first thing. However if this is an easy thing I can take care of myself, I'll do it.
