Just installed my new MaxJax lift last nite.
It's the best two grand i ever spent.

 

Very nice. . .

 

Looks great! Does the concrete have to be a particular depth (reason for modifying footprints)?

 

Yeah.
It needs to have a minimum depth of 5 inches. My floor only was 2 inches thick at the thinnest point. I poured 14 inches just to play it safe.

So far I have had my Boxster, my JK Jeep(2door), my wifes JK Jeep(4door) and my quad on the lift.
It's got a 6000 lb capacity.
I'll post some pics later.

 

nice! i didnt know garage lifts were that affordable!

although at it's max heigh in a normal garage it does put you at an awkward position, too low to stand too high to sit while working under the car?

 

how tall is this lift? It would make creeping under the car much easier. Would it fit into a standard garage?

 

The max height is 48 inches.
It is made/designed to fit in a standard 8 foot garage. I could go higher but I have to get a side mounted garage door opener. Liftmaster makes one i'm interested in buying.

I have no association with them but it is a great product and a solution to small garages.

 

is this a standard 2 car garage? is there room to put a car next to the lift?

 

Starbi
I have it installed in a standard width 2 car garage. I am able to park my other car(e30 M3) with no problems.
The best thing about the lift is that It is movable. It has casters built into the base. I just have to take the 5 bolts out of the floor and it's done. There are no bolts sticking out of the floor to trip on. The permanant anchors are female threaded into the floor.

 

Congrats Nick! It looks really cool. I'm coming to your house next time to do my oil changes!

 

Rich
you are more than welcome to come by and check out the lift.
Maybe a Captree run.

 

The Boxster and M3 are at the perfect height when standing up to remove wheels and perform a brake job or suspension inspection.
the Jeeps i have are quite a bit taller limiting the height of the lift, but i can still rotate tires and brakes/suspension but on a rolling stool.

 

Amazing. Great install and great solution compared to a full height jack.


Thanks for sharing

 

nice! good buy.

 

Yeah, I considered getting one. The prices are pretty low. If you buy a good floor jack, a roller, a crossbar holder thingy, you'll be out of 3-400 dollars already. May as well pay a little more and get a really useful lift

The only problem is that you need to be pretty sure you'll be staying there. Or can a lift be moved easily if you ever move to another house?
