Bump for helpfulness I have mine 129" outside plate to outside plate. Cars lifted 2011 Acura TL SHAWD (pretty heavy) 2002 Mazda B4000 4x4 1987 BMW 325ic e30 1988 BMW 325iS e30 The acura has plenty of room and is fine to leave columns up all the time. slight arm extension The mazda..... i...

My slab is 4.5 to 5.5. 9 of my original anchors seemed to bite exactly how explained in the instructions. After lifting my pickup on full arm extension they all slipped a bit. They didn't totally let go, but it was not acceptable. I have lifted a 3600lb and 3800lb car with no movement or...

oil change and tire rotation in record time. I am so mad I wasted time and didnt use epoxy anchors off the bat. You live and you learn. Still have not lifted a car to max lift, but so far the first lock is all i have needed so far.

I agree. Epoxy anchors all the way. The anchors they give are a huge waste of effort and time for the iffy feeling you get when using them. Call Dannmar and order the epoxy anchor kit if you want an easy solution.

Got it installed and had the courage to bleed and lift the sacrificial pick up twice. I let it sit for about 40 mins at the first stop. Finding lift points for a pick up when I set the columns at 129" was interesting. The arms are all the way extended and not as much of a V as i would...

I set the epoxy anchors last night using coffee filters. For people like me that drove the original PD58s into the ground, I have some advice. The wejet epoxy anchors are longer then the PD58s. I threaded the sacrifice bolt a few threads and pounded them into the ground and it wasnt enough...

My slab is 4.5-5.5" thick. I have hammered the old anchors through. I used air and vac with the original anchors, but out of OCD, I have now purchased a nylon 1.25" pipe cleaner and an 5" air wand attachment for my compressor. Since my old anchors are pound through, should I drop something in...

do they stay in place when curing? or do the anchors sink and require something to keep them in place? I really dont want to mess this up!

for those who were curious this is what comes in the kit from Dannmar/GES for the epoxy anchors.

thanks! i will look into different fitting layouts. J

I am in the process of installing my maxjax and wanted to share my issues. 1st issue I had was that the quick connect fittings for the base of the columns leaked badly. I contacted dannmar/ges and they sent me new ones, but they seem like better quality even if they wont admit that. 2nd...

I had the same experience about a month or so ago. Site said 4-6 weeks, which I wanted, ended up getting it within one via con-way. Other than it coming way sooner than I wanted, they delivered to my garage all the way from the street on a pallet jack. Costco was painless shipping.

Bronx Thanks everyone!

Jason here, been lurking for a little bit as I prepared and saved up to rebuild my garage. Project starts in 2 weeks, and im pretty excited to put to use some of the stuff i picked up here. Building a detached 24x21 block and flat roof. 10ft tall block walls. Custom made 17.5 ft x 9ft low...
