He said the stabilizers should make full contact on both sides when the bottle jack is lowered and mine was not. With the jack fully lowered, I could flip the front stablizer bar with one finger. Jim said that was not right. He said he would send me a new set and see if that would fix the problem. He called back today and after doing a little research he did not think replacing the stabilizer bars would work. He said he lifted his bike without engaging the bars and his was solid. Jim said they was mine was doing was not right. He said he was shipping me a new lift.

Now that is some great customer service. Now, while I don't like having this kind of hassle, it is great to know someone will take care of a problem like this.

Jim and Cheryl have been great. Jim spent a lot of time with me on the phone trying to figure out what was wrong. At first he was going to send me a new set of stabilizer bars and then he decided on his own to send me a new lift. That's great CS.

Nice! Glad to know someone is still proud in their gear and back it up here in America. It's hard to find good CS no matter what business it is these days. Thanks for the update!

Got the replacement jack today and it works much better, the safety stops work like they are supposed to and the bike is more stable. I poured over the first one and cannot find any evidence of a problem, they only thing I can think of is if a part of the frame is warped. Looking at the quality of their work, I wonder if it was damaged in shipment. Anyways, the new jack works like it should and kudos to J&S for working so hard to fix it.

Glad it worked out for you. At first I was thinking either I was crazy because I thought the bike was stable on the J and S jack or you were crazy thinking it was not.
