That's nice! Damn! I could've bought a craftsman jack on CL for $60 and that dolly for $100 and been sturdy, and way under the $450 I just spent on the J&S. $300 could've easily been spent elsewhere....

I've got a Craftsman jack... and I'm looking at the J&S. The Craftsman is barely adequate, IMHO... I have to put the wheels up on a board to get under the bike, and it isn't very stable all the way up.

I totally get that lots of people store bikes on jack stands. I have one and use it all the time. But its just my opinion....
I get NERVOUS as hell leaving my bike on that thing. I would be scared to death to leave it for months.
If i needed the bike upright for space issues, a center stand would be my answer.

That being said, the JS jack is sturdy enough as it is so you probably wouldn't use a dolly with it anyway..
The Craftsman yellow jack gets as low as any jack available to include the JS jack.
My yellow jack is close to the frame but it slides under my Heritage while it's on the jiffy stand.
