Default J&S jacks

Is anyone else waiting on a j&sjack? It's Been over two months since I ordered my jack. I've had communication back and forth with them but still no jack .

Yes, but J&S replaces those Chinese jacks if/when they fail...no matter if you're in/out of warranty. Try that at Harbor Freight.

True that, I have 3 J&S's and I've been through 3 of those Chinese hydraulic air jacks over the past 5 years, all replaced free of charge. J&S must order them by the containerful. Still, the best jack on the market. Their customer service used to be top-notch! What gives?

Ya, nothing like spending 300 bucks on a jack you have to work on before you can use it,

I bought both and ended up selling the PitBull, even though it is made here in Tennessee not far from me. Super well made, but the footprint of the PB is much bigger and takes up a lot more floor space. Plus, the double feet on the PitBull made it virtually unusable for changing oil, trans fluid, etc. as the feet blocked a lot of the underside of the bike. And to me, both the PB and J&S were equally stable. I'm much happier with the J&S. YMMV.
