I am about to pull the trigger on the group order for the MaxJax and wanted to hear from those who have already purchased and are using it. Is it worth the price?
In my garage there way no chance of getting a full rise lift and a scissor style lift was too restrictive under the car. The MaxJax took care of both. It's awesome.
I say it's worth it at a group buy or a regular price.
x3 Best investment I have made. Life is alot easier being able to sit and work on things and not having to work around stands/ramps. I also was restricted with ceiling height, and this thing is so much better than the mid-rises I was looking at. Under vehicle access is great.
Love it! I wanted to build a separate garage, but this has totally changed my perspective on doing that for a while. It allows you to work on a car when you need to and allows you to put the lift in storage when you don't.
My garage has low ceilings, so this is perfect for my needs. The Racedeck is next!
Mine is not fully installed due to concrete issues, but since you asked, IMHO the MaxJax is best if:
1) You dont have room for a 4 post lift and
2) you dont intend to store cars/trucks one over another OR
3) You dont have the height or space required for a perm install full size 2 post lift and
4) you want to save a bit of $$ over each of the above.
I have the Bend Pak HD9XW and the new MaxJax. I have to make some room in the garage for the MaxJax. Each is a tool that has its own virtues. I have a 10' ceiling in the garage, so it is fine for my use. I only wish that I had a 16' ceiling so I could get some of my cars all the way up to work on them. Lifts are becoming like other tools... you can never have too many..

I had a mid-raise from Danmar and not having all that in the middle when working under the car is great!! Mine has been put to a lot of use lately. No regrets.
