OF GOING WITH THE PITBULL LIFT BUT NEEDED SOME INPUT. RIDE SAFE

Both manufactures produce first rate equipment; it would be difficult to go wrong with either one. I have dealt with J&S and have zero complaints about the customer service or any of their equipment. I am sure that members that have gone with the Pit Bull will say the same thing about Pit Bull and Their stuff. It’s really just a toss up they are both real good.

I have a pit bull I purchased at a show 2 years ago. It's a great lift, very sturdy and stable. Gets the bike up 27" in the air I believe. They have some options now if your interested like a swiveling top and swiveling 4 wheels. I purchased the parts from them to make mine 4 wheel swivel. Had a friend weld them on for me. Didn't like it after the fact and removed them and have it now back like I got it. Any way....Great lift!!!

I'VE HAD A PITBULL FOR 6 YEARS. VERY STABLE. NO PROBLEMS WITH IT AT ALL. IT RAISES THE BIKE HIGHER THAN MOST OTHER LIFTS.

I just got the J&S this week. And I have looked closely at the Pitbull at their booth at a rally. I also watched both of their videos. No noticable difference except the price. The Pitbull is $100 more. It was a no-brainer for me.

I have the J&S with the oil drain option. It's a first rate lift. There are pics in my gallery if you have time to look.

The oil drain feature is really works well. I keep my SG on the lift all the time when parked. Makes it easy to move the Bike around in the Garage.
