Anybody have the J&S lift and used it on a softail?
Was there any interference with the shocks since they are slightly below the frame?
Was the bike when lifted as stable as their video showed?

Regards

 

I have the J&S and use it on both my Heritage and the wife's Deluxe. I use the pads that J&S supplied. They're 1/2"x 2"x4". They go under the frame rails on either side of the bike to keep the shock off the jack. Any piece of rubber,plastic or wood would work.

J&S said they were'nt needed and no damage would occur to the shocks w/o them but I feel better using them.

If you order the jack ask for the pads. They're free.

The jack is as stable as a rock which was my primary reason for getting it. No straps are needed.

One tip for placing the pads. Since the bike is tilted you can't get the pad under the rail on the jiffy stand side w/o raising that side about 1/4 inch. I put a piece of plywood under the jiffy stand which raises that side of the bike enough to slide the pad into place.

 

I have the blue "Mr Goodwrench" jack I bought from Wal Mark ($52.00) and I use 2 thin blocks of wood. Werks good fer me. I couldn't afford the yellow or the red jack.

 

Thanks for the info and the tip.
