    Two post lift on sale at NT

    this is not a deal when you compare the northern tools shipping to my address freight was $467.. Greg Smith equipment has Bendpak Master Series XL-9BP for $1495 plus shipping So you can get a name brand 9K lift for the same price as the NT 6k lift easy choice in my mind

    Air jacks use a slide on c shaped safety collar to keep them from collapsing. See the attached link. They are very safe at holding up a 2,000-3,000 # race car. Glenn http://www.sarlinraceteam.fi/service/hinnastot/JLS%20AirJacks.pdf
