Aluminum racing jack recommendation BP Vs. HF It may look like the Harbor Freight jack but there are differences. They are completely different jacks. The Bendpak jack is a rapid pump type jack requiring 4 pumps for full height The HF takes 13 pumps Raised height: BP 17.75" HF 14.75" Length...

Biased much?,Only slightly, love their equipment. It takes a beating and they stand behind their stuff!

I just picked up a Bendpak Aluminum racing jack. I think it is the best racing jack out there. It is made very well. The handles on the side make it easy to maneuver. It is the only jack I have used so far that will fit under my vette, (with lift pucks) and my Pantera. Check it out here...

If anyone is considering buying a tire machine, check out the Bendpak R23ST. I have been using one on low profile tires and run flats. It is real easy to use. Looks like the link from the bendpak blog dropped out. Here is the youtube link Rgds, RGaz :beer:

The Pain...........This is still leagues better than crawling under the car with jacks. Luckily these cars are very short. I did consider adding one more high bay onto the garage. There is no better time than now to do additions. Rgds, RGaz

Ceiling height: Not high enough! My ceiling is 10' tall. I needed the length and width of the lift and unfortunately can't take advantage of the full height. I can however put the Pantera on top and fit my vette underneath. I can fit my sloburban on the lift and work underneath it. Rgds, RGaz

I need to do some work on the ceiling, moving lights and relocating the opener higher. Should buy me another 18" or so. With respect to help. I got help unloading the truck. Also when raising the columns with the cross tubes installed and dropping the runways on the cross bars. About 30 mins...

Got the lift set up. Thanks to Junkman and others for your help. Rgds, RGaz

My HD9XW should arrive on Thursday. It will be delivered on a 28' truck with a lift gate. Based upon the invaluable feedback you have all given me on my prior post. I plan to pull one end into the bucket of my loader. Then drag it out such that the other end rests on the 6' lift gate of the...

TNX Ovilla. I think I may have an answer to the challenge. One of my buds owns the local U-Haul. He also has a number of tow trucks of various sizes. I am off to see him tomorrow. I can probably pull it out straped to my bucket and he can put the hoist on it and we can lower it on blocks...

TNX for all the feedback Gents! The HD9XW is ordered and on the way! I can tell this is going to be a challenge doing the unloading. I considered unpacking in the truck and taking it out piecemeal. However 1HR to get it unpacked and the driver will go crazy. Junkman,My tractor is a skid...

After looking at my requirements and all the lifts out there I have narrowed the search to the BP HD-9XW or the Direct Lift Pro Park 9 Plus. I went to the ALI web site to check certification. The BP HD-9ST and the HD-9 are on the list as certified and the Direct PP9+ is on the lift as...
