Default Great lightweight jack

This is buried in another thread, so I thought I might repeat it because there's been quite a bit of interest in this topic.

Admired Mack's jack, so went hunting for myself. On the advice of SCS2k, I contacted Mark Johnson of Dali Racing

http://www.daliracing.com

and was able to pick up (no pun intended) one of the Litening (?) racing jacks he describes on his web site. Weighs only 35 lbs., lifts 3400 lbs, price is $525, lowest I've seen for a jack of this type, and 3400 lbs. beats the 1-ton capacity of similar jacks that sell for more. Even has a handle on the jack to enhance portability. I'm very pleased.

Unfortunately, it's not low enough to reach the front end jacking point of a stock S2k, so I also ordered Rhino ramps. Now with the low-profile Griot at home and the Litening at the track, I'm in good shape.

Here is my PSA for the day. The Blitz Rhino Ramps list for $39.95. You can pick them up at Pep Boys for $24.95. That would be less now wouldn't it?

I think he said he purchased a set. They don't help much though if your trying to change tires, bleed brakes etc.

Reading back, my joke wasn't so funny. Hell, I don't even remember what I was trying to say. I am not a funny guy.

I wasn't trying to flame Calc. Sorry if I came across that way. I guess my point was if you have a Pep Boys in your town, they have the ramps for a good cheap price.

And to think, I have a degree in Journalism.
