Man, if you are on Facebook, keep an eye out. Guys have posted about some great scores on the J&S.
If I did not already have the J&S, I would be looking at K&L https://dealer.klsupply.com/shop-lif...c-atv-jack.asp

Thanks for the info. If I can't find a used J&S I'll probably get one of those.

I found a few. One is 10 hours away and the other is 4 hour. If the closer one replies I'll drive down to get it.

As I've posted in the recent past, I'm surprised that some enterprising person/company doesn't just COPY the J&S Jack design?
I'm pretty sure there's nothing proprietary about their design so you'd think one could be easily copied and given the high demand you'd think it would be a success.
I've owned a J&S for 15 yrs. and find it indispensable for the following reasons:
1. It's minimum height of 4" allows for it to easily slide under my 2015 Ultra Limited "Low" while on it's jiffy stand.
2. It's extremely stable and rolls easily with the full weight of my 2015 Ultra Limited on it. (950+ lbs)
3. Widest footprint for extra stability.
4. Longest and farthest spread "lifting rails" (17" long)
5. Much better safety stop design than all other jacks.
The ONLY (well known) "issue" was the bottle jack made in China that often leaked. But replacements are pretty easy to find and replacement is easy...ask me how I know....LOL.
It's too bad J&S went out of business and screwed a lot of depositors. They made a great product but were lousy, dishonest business people......but the J&S Jack itself wasn't the problem....it was the owners!
An exact copy, could easily sell for $400 to $500 if someone with the skill and business sense wants to start the business.
