Calling All MaxJax Owners

[Mr onetwo]

This question is for any MaxJax owner who has set their post at 130" or greater to the back side of the mounting plates. I have finally got the replacement parts from Dannmar (Safety Recall) so it is time to lay this puppy out and drill the anchors. I will be lifting a 1968 C-body Chrysler and a 1993 Dodge D150 2wd P/U. They are both around 78" wide with the jacking points around 21" in towards the C/L of the vehicle. I think 135" may be just right, but not sure. What have you guys lifted with the posts set out this wide? Thanks

I have to double check my posts, I think I set them at 132". I have lifted my Infinti M37X, my 1999 old body style Chevy extended cab C1500 pickup truck, E39 BMW M5, E23 BMW 745i, a 2004 Ford Taurus, and a Ford Ranger, so far. I am about to lift a big old Lincoln Town car. Lifting the Ford ranger was almost a problem because w/ the posts this far apart, I had the arms at full extension to reach the Ranger's inboard frame rails. I had to very carefully park it to be able to reach all 4 lift pads. I can't lift my Jeep DJ5 because its frame rails are even closer together. Worst case scenario you can always add another set of holes matching the spacing on the base plate, to have a narrow and wide configuration you can choose from.

Having several set of holes is the best solution. I have 1 pad with 5 holes and 1 pad with 11 holes. Therefor 3 diferent width posibilities.

I do not want to spend the money on another epoxy kit...what is your widest spacing and what do you lift when you use it?

I have lifted from a 1948 MG TC to a 1954 cadillac el dorado. I will take pictures today

Perhaps a 3"x1/2" steel 'plank' that ties the rear lift arms together, and another for the front would let you lift jeep... could probably drill holes for frame extensions in it too.
