The Craftsman jacks require lift blocks on the newer Dynas, or a modification of the jack.

I have the J&S jack and it is great, no blocks required, but more expensive than the Sears jacks.

I got a cheap one equivalent to the sears red jack for 69$ and just put a 12" slat of 1x3" on the one end and a 4" slat on the other and the bike goes up or down just fine.'Course for more money you can get more convenience!

The Harbor Freight one works without the blocks on a Dyna.

I second the J&S jack. Fits right under my lowrider, picks it up off of the jiffy stand and places it back down on it as well. No straps needed, solid as a rock, and is the ideal jack for a one man show.

I love mine...We have a J&S at the shop and it is a great lift, just a little out of my personal budget for home. But, I use it when at the shop...
