I have the J & S jack. It's a lot more money, but well worth it. No worries about the bike falling off. Extremely stable.

Depends on what you want to do and spend. My cheap one does fine for home maintenance. You can see what I have done on it in my albums. Cheap one from Harbor Freight. Think Sears and Northern has similar cheap one. I do not have room for a full lift and you would still need a jack with it.

J & S is superb. Do a search on this site, as there are many threads.

I just got my Pit Bull today. 119 pounds UNBOXED. Lifetime guarantee. I think it's even better than the excellent J & S.

You can't lose either way.

For most work like installing I bolt the Condor chock onto the rail of the four post lift.

For services and access to the wheels for removal or cleaning, I got the high lift from HF for about $160. I have the regular floor model to move the bike around. The high lift doesn't move when there is a bike on it.

My body is not as flexible now that I'm 70 so I need to have what I'm working on at eye level.

Sometimes I get lazy. I just came in from installing a Cobra Fi2000r on the Ultra and the SE stage I breather while I was sitting on the concrete floor. I was too lazy to back out two vehicles to put the bike on the high lift.
