Thanks. My Triumph TR6 is as low if not lower than your vette but my Model A sits very high. I need something that switches out easy with spacers. Curious, did you ever look at the Longhorn 6000 lb storable lift? It is about $500 cheaper and seems to have the same specs I just can't find any reviews about it.
@perfdavid Yes it comes with 4 spacers that go under the lift pads, with the pad and riser it is probably about 4-5" total. These were not shown in the video as you can't use them with such low cars as this Corvette
@74mopar440 Sorry about that, yes its a mistake. All the audio was done in one take without editing software. I'm well aware of what a 4 post is as I have one of those as well. We all make mistakes once and a while, kind of like a typo of "to" and "two" don't you think.
@madmatt2024 I didn't go into the detail abou the installation and mounting of the MaxJax but the lift is mounted to the floor similar to a "standard" 2 post. It has 5 bolts on each base plate into anchors that are either Wej-it anchors or epoxy type. Mine has been in place for about 18 months and no issues, there are time I leave a car up on the lift for a week or more at a time.
@navy0vette , The general height you can lift is about 46-48". Depending on the car you may be able to get the base of the car up a little higher if it has higher ground clearance like a sedan or crossover SUV and you can fit the supplied lifting pads onto the arms. Also for truck or some SUV's you can use the small 3" extensions on the lift pads and get a bit more height.
But low cars like the vette unless you lift the car, then put it on jack stands then add the lift pads its about 47"
Thanks for the video. I've been considering one of these, but I cannot find many comments or video of how comfortable it is working under the car on a sitting creeper. If you could comment on your height (I'm 6'2" & worried about being still too tall to sit & work) & also what lift extenders you use, that would be cool. A quick video of moving around under the car would be even better!
Depending on the deal you should be able to find the MaxJax for around $1800-2100. Some deal include shipping other not. At time Costco has been offering these for sale.
You can order from Garage Equipment Supply, that is who I worked with in getting the MaxJax
My slab was about 4 1/2" thick, Danmmar requires 4". I'm sure the VW was on the top setting and that gives you about 47-52" of clearance depending on the height of the jacking points. Many folks have dropped transmissions using these, I think there is plenty of room for that.
Great vid. just a couple of questions, How thick is your floor slab? and the last picture with the VW , was that all the way up. Could a guy remove a tranny on a rear drive car at that height you think. Thanks

Does this come with spacers to raise the pads off the lift arms for vehicles that have frames that are recessed higher in the vehicle?

Cool idea but I can't say that I would trust a 2 post lift that isn't bolted to a slab or dosn't have the posts joined together.

Good to know. Since it lifted your C5, I KNOW it can lift my C4. What is the max height that you have used it for?
