    Default Best Racing Jacks / Jack Stands

    Anyone have a good source for Aluminum Racing Jacks? I have purchased my share of Harbor Freight Jacks. I have one of the $700+ jacks and it does work well but I need to buy 3-4 more.

    Also any suggestions on nice, strong, light and cheap jack stands?

    Thanks,

    Rob

    Look at the Sear's Craftsman jack. They look pretty nice for the price.

    A team used my craftsman for the 24 hr @ the ledges, it was scrap when I got it back. I always hated being 1 jack off, I can't imagine being 3 or 4.

    There was a pretty good discussion recently about jacks over at the sandbox: http://www.roadrace-autox.com/bbs/fo...sts=54&start=1

    I have a Craftsman Jack and it worked well for a while but now it takes 20 pumps to raise a car a car. I tried to bleed it out but its hopeless.

    Usually I buy two $99 Jacks a year - by mid-season they are just barely hanging on and by Novemeber they are in the trash.
