Congrats on the new jack. I've heard and read nothing but good things about J&S jacks. I just got the lower profile (3.5") Stinger brand from Sears and it seems pretty well built and solid.

I just got my J & S a couple of days ago. Seems really well made and easy to use. I tried it out briefly and it seemed to be as solid as advertised. Granted I didn't climb on it and jump around like they do in the video. I did order the HD frame guards to get some clearance for the softails shocks. I called and asked J & S about the bike sitting on the shocks and they said it would be fine and I believe them but I figured the frame guards will be some cheap insurance either way. Really happy with it though overall and looking forward to using it to put on my stage 1 that's on the way.

It may be ok until you want to do some shock work. I just dropped mine out last night and used a couple 1x2 wooden strips I happened to have to rest between the frame and the jack. I wouldn't store or lift on the shocks personally, no matter what "they" said.

I'm jealous. That is one great jack. I just can't justify spending the $400 plus with shipping so I can clean my wheels easier. I looked at Black Widow jacks but they didn't get a good review. You get what you pay for.
