I use a $200 Canadian Tire jack. It comes with a locking bar, so I case the jack looses pressure, it wont allow the stand to lower. Been working great for the last three years.
And I get to do some “garage sitting” on the bikes in the garage in the middle of winter with a little drink this way.
For me, my bike sitting on the jiffy stand takes up the least amount of space in the garage. backed into a corner and leaned toward the wall, full lock left turn on the bars. Also that is the only way my bike fits in the garage and still allows us to park a vehicle in the garage and walk around it.
I nailed 4 x 4's together to make my stand and use my Harbor Freight jack to get them underneath. This gets the tires up in the air. Is it necessary? According to the experts it's not, but it's what I do.
