J&S Jack owner here, but doubt I have any photos of it in use.
The frame rails of the Sears/Harbor Freight jack are 14" apart. The J&S is 17" apart. The oil pan that hangs lower than the frame fits between the frame rails of the J&S. All 4 contact points (of the frame) rest on the jack. No modification or spacer blocks needed. I simply roll the jack under the bike and start pumping the jack pedal. No fuss, no muss.

Neither is superior to the other in my opinion. Either is superior to anything else. I own a J&S jack. I was lucky to find one on CL. I wanted the J&S because I knew it would be low enough to get under my LR. Both brands are Made in the USA, my preferred Country of Manufacture.

Motorcycle Lift Comparison. This video is what convinced me to buy J&S for my Fat Boy Lo, although the Pitbull is a close second.
I ordered the J&S lastnight. (It was shipped before noon!)
Plus, they're havin' a sale! 20 bucks off or a free oil drain pan attachment.
Thanks to all who posted.
