Max Jax Lift Installation - Page 2

Lift in and working. Frikken Dannmar marked the wrong ports on the hydraulic distributor. I forgot how much I hated the smell of transmission fluid.

Had it delivered to the closest Yellow freight distributor-Fit perfect in the 8 ft. bed of my truck.

Unpacked.

Damn-I have too much sh!t in my garage.

Measure my largest car-The GS.

Stupid door opener !! I have to offset my install.

Got it.

I can even open the door !

Tools of the trade. I can't stress enough about how easy the drilling was. About a minute a hole. 4 inch concrete-Through like buttah.

First lift. Let me preface this by saying-Dannmar marked the wrong holes on the hydraulic distributor. It took me 4 hours to figure this out because I thought I did something wrong. Nope-those mofos. Note the jackstands under the arms. I let it hang for an hour and then got on the arms and bounced. No deflection of the jack at all.

Topped up. 48 inches on the lift. Not enough dammit.

3 stage process. Lift car/place block under wheel/drop lift/put extension on jack/a 2X4 piece and a jacking puck.

Now I get 50 inches and plenty of room. Now for the MC. 850 lbs of Harley on one section.

Now the other.

I had bought a thicker tunnel plate for the car and put it on today. Was under the car tugging, pulling and wrenching. Felt very secure. I love this lift. It's perfect for my use. 2 other members of my racing club just bought theirs based on my install.
