Awesome!

Whats the max height a max jax can go?

Nice job! I like your toys as well! I have had mine for 3+ years and it is great! You might want to make it into a "permanent install" so you don't trip over the hoses...there are other threads on here about it...

about 4 feet... you can use pegs to raise the car higher...obviously you use a creeper seat under the car.

Nice job. Handy tool for sure. 10'~10.5' ceiling?

Noticed that your fluid tank is clear rather than the black plastic that came with my unit. Also noticed the round pads on the arms; mine are square and larger.

After you get used to using it, you might want to think about hanging the pump assembly on the front wall and get some hose extensions that would allow you to keep the lines attached. You could run the hoses upwards along the two posts to the ceiling and then to the front wall and down to the pump. No tripping hazard that way!

Enjoy the lift, I really like mine!

I think that's just a product update. Round pads have less chance of wear on the edges.

I have been looking at those since
tney came out. My ceiling height
is similar to use. It appears you
can go high enough till you can
sit up under the vehicle. To get a
full size lift I need to build a dedicated bay or move. Is there
anything you dont like about it?
Anything you would change about
the install? Thanks for sharing.

Great looking garage. Nice job with the lift.

 

[nsogiba]

looks great. what is the overall width from the very outer edge of the wheels to the other side?

 

[GTO]

Nice job.
What Ferrari do you have ?

That installation sure looks familiar. I remember drilling all 10 of those holes in my floor too.

I'm pondering adding extension hoses and mounting my pump unit on the wall as well. It sure would save time in connecting/disconnecting.

Max lift height is often more a limit of your garage ceiling and what you're lifting. My pickup with a lightbar and other emergency equipment is only going to go up about 36". But the Triumph Spitfire is a lot shorter and I was able to get a full lift on the Max Jax without any issue.

I found my roller seat was too tall even under the Spitfire so I found a shorter one to do the trick. It's going to be so nice to have it handy and ready to use.

How tall is your ceiling? Can you measure the highest point with the mustang on the lift, next time you have it in the air and let me know please? Thanks!
