Yes the J&S is a good lift but @ $350+ shipping, I don't know.
For $120 you can get a sears red craftsman jack and modify it. No lift blocks needed after the modification.
So, the J&S is about triple the price. I guess if you have the extra coin, go for it.
Also, I've had my sears red for about 2yrs now and beat the crap out of it. Hasn't failed me yet.

Had a Sears, Harbor Freight and ended up with the Pitbull Dyna model. There is no comparison. The J&S is in the same class but the Pit Bull raises to 24". You asked which is the best. Look no further.

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

That Harbor freight High lift is pretty cool. The only thing I don't like about it is that it looks like it would be a pain to work on the right side of your bike.
J&S is great USA made quality and the company is ran with some amazing people, which is why I have no problem spending the extra money on their products. I even bought their wheel chock when I was moving. Just as good quality and I can use it as a stand in the garage too!! Notice no straps on the bike with their wheel chock either. Until trailered that is!!!
The bars are the tie down points, so no need to put tie downs in the trailer. Usually when it sits in the garage I take the tie down bars off!!

It is a lot of coin, but well worth it. I love mine and would buy one again. I wouldn't steer a fellow 18er wrong.
