I have the sears yellow and it is getting tired as it drops too fast now, so based on the the reviews and video I just watched on the J&S site I will most likely replace it with one. I have a question though, is there any harm to the suspension storing the bike in a lifted state in between rides?

Currently using the HD jack/lift. Can compare it Harbor Freight's jack/lift as it replaced that. The HD version is far superior to the HF's unit but then again that's not saying much. The HD unit doesn't even begin to stress with the Dyna on it and lifts the FLHTK with ease and is rather stable so long as the lock is engaged even without the hold down straps secured. Is it worth the $300 HD asks for it? Well, that a matter of personal opinion. Have to add that quality control isn't what I thought it should be. Haven't used the J&S so can't compare to that one.
I will say this, no matter which jack lift you buy there are limitations. Want to change the motor isolators/mounts on the FLHTK but just don't see a way to to get a second jack under the motor while on the Harley lift. So today I'll be picking up the new 1500lb capacity table lift and putting the HD lift on Craigslist asking a C-note. The 17" height the HD lift offers just isn't cutting it any longer and the 3' height of the table lift sure sounds like it'll be better on the old knees. Will be able to stand versus kneeling on the floor.

You're gonna love having a lift table. Get yourself a little stool on wheels too and it will make you smile even more!

Heritage......I always store my Ultra Limited jacked up on my J&S Jack all winter long.....no issues with the suspension at all. My dealers tech's say its fine too. Always good to get the tires off a cold concrete floor too.
