Go-Jack Question

So I finally decided to purchase a set of Go-Jacks for the Boxster so I could move it around the garage to fit multiple cars in. Went to slide them under the car for the first time and the bolt on the top of the caster hit the back cross brace next to the rear tires.

Does anyone here use go-jacks, and if so, did they work for you? I am thinking I may need to back the Boxster onto a 2x4 pad to give it enough space to jack it up and move it. I am open to any other suggestions. Thanks.

I have used "Go-Jacks" in my shop. As convenient as they would appear in my opinion they are not worth the expense. As much as I dislike Harbor Frieght tools they offer wheel dollies for a fraction of the cost of the "Go-Jacks" and with the additional money you save you can get a low profile floor jack to raise each corner to place the wheel dollies under the tire.

Go Jacks are just pretty colors. For this purpose the HF part is fine.They have several styles. The floor jack with a cross beam attachment is particularly useful
